I use a lot of single use coffee cups and want to try and bring my own into places that are allowing reusable cups!

Sierra's actions
Simplicity
Meditate
I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 15 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
Action Track: Building Resilience
Support Businesses Owned by People of Color
Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.
Transportation
Drive Less
I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.
Nature
Practice Gratitude for Earth
I will spend 20 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.
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.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
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 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
Health
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 45 minute(s) each day.

Sierra MacDonald 10/05/2021 10:50 AMToday I met an older gentleman at a Coffee shop and he and I talked all about Solar and Renewable Energy. He shared with me his opinion in regards to Waste Plants and the increase in need for Solar Power and I shared with him our lecture that we had on Monday. It was awesome to hear his perspective and opinions in regards to waste in California and all over the world! -
