Kate's actions
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Community
Talk To My Friends and Classmates
I will decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 2 friends and/or classmates each day about the issue.
Simplicity
Meditate
I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 15 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
Waste
Prevent Recycling Contamination
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
Health
Happiness
I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Prevent Recycling ContaminationWhat have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?
Kate Buss 11/13/2019 2:57 PMYou can recycle newspapers, books, basically all paper items. Tetra-Pak cartons, cans, plastic bottles, plastic packaging, and cardboard. My family got a membership at the Bottle Drop so our refillable bottles become reused. The most difficult thing for me is knowing what to recycle but I have learned a lot! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth HappinessHow does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Kate Buss 11/13/2019 8:16 AMThrough practicing gratitude I am reminded of all that I have and that motivates me to remind others to think of all that they have to be great- full for. It also motivates me to help those who don’t have what I am reminded of when I practice gratitude.
