    This was really difficult to remember every morning. Having a sand timer in the shower would be really helpful.

    After hearing about the plastic islands and straws stuck in turtle noses, I feel like my whole thinking about reducing plastic has completely shifted and I am much more committed. Now straws disgust me and any food container that is not compostable is a huge deterrent for me on whether or not I choose to eat at that establishment. I have...

    Some websites make it very hard to find the option to go paperless which I think was most surprising to me. Wouldn't it be cheaper for them to go paperless anyway?? Next steps are to find out how to take myself off junk mail lists because they just pile up on my kitchen table.

    Communities of colour are most affected, particularly African American and Native American communities. They are also a significant population within urban centers which I had never realised before.

    Bought a groupon to try kettlebells in a local studio down the street from my house!

    Reducing my paper mail also makes me feel more secure about my identity protection - identity theft is huge right now and seemingly harder to avoid.  Less items with my name and address on it is great for the environment and myself!

    I already try to limit single-use items but am curious about trying fabric napkins over paper napkins - something we already do at Waterleaf in the women's restroom and paper hand towels.

    Wear extra layers, make sure to adjust thermostat for hours not home, when cold get moving for a few moments to warm up- maybe between commercials while watching tv, etc.  In the summer use fans rather than AC, open up the windows during evenings and cooler mornings.
