Use a Reusable Mug
I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Walk Instead
I will walk 2 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Skip the StrawHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
Noah McClymont (Salem) 3/09/2022 4:10 PMI could reduce how much paper I need for my homework/classwork. I could refuse to buy plastic bottles. I could repurpose my trash into something more useful. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable MugMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?
Noah McClymont (Salem) 3/09/2022 4:09 PMI hardly used disposable mugs before the challenge. It just doesn't make sense to me. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Walk InsteadHalf of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Does this statistic describe your own transportation habits? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?
Noah McClymont (Salem) 3/09/2022 4:07 PMI generally prefer walking instead of driving. Sometimes it's impossible to walk to your destination, but walking across campus is easy.
