Water

Say No to Plastic Straws

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Healthy Sleep

Consider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What are you finding works for you to be successful in this action?

Maya Cliffe 10/02/2018 10:46 AM

I try to get around 8 hours of sleep every night. I hope to shift my sleep patterns so that I go to bed earlier and am able to then wake up earlier. I find that putting my phone away 30 minutes before I go to sleep helps to aid in getting to sleep faster.
