Alyssa Panduro 11/29/2020 10:12 PMToday I was in Fontana at the summit shopping center grocery shopping and Christmas shopping. First, I went grocery shopping at stater brothers and I parked right in front. I then went to dollar tree, ross, and target. Instead of moving my car and driving to those stores, I chose to walk. I added fewer emissions to the air because I did not start my car over and over in order to be closer to my car after every store. It also helped me save a little bit of gas and I appreciated the cold weather and trees swinging back and forth. Typically, I would move my car after every store just so I don't need to walk everywhere but today I chose not to be lazy and reduce the burning of fossil fuels. I feel like I got a better experience walking from store to store rather than driving which I greatly enjoyed!-
Ana Dutciuc 11/29/2020 10:37 PMAmazing! Keep it up Alyssa remember a little bit goes a long way

Alyssa Panduro 11/17/2020 11:14 PMToday I enjoyed what nature had to offer. I went to the park and ate a box of pizza at the picnic table. It was such a nice day outside. I feel like I take this nice sunny weather for granted and don't appreciate it enough. When it starts to rain every day I will definitely miss these picnics!-
Rosy Soto 11/29/2020 6:53 PMGood for you, I'm sure it felt great to treat yourself and get some fresh air. -

Alyssa Panduro 11/16/2020 10:50 PMSo today I went to target and I refused my bag! The bad thing was I forgot my reusable bag but good thing I did not buy as many items!-

Alyssa Panduro 11/10/2020 4:54 PMThe straws I bought are a good investment because I can carry them in my bad with me where ever I go since they're so portable and convenient. I haven't had to use not one plastic straw ever since I bought them.-
Ana Dutciuc 11/11/2020 5:49 PMAnd I feel like their easier to clean

Alyssa Panduro 11/10/2020 4:49 PMThese are the straws that I bought for only $5!-

Alyssa Panduro 11/09/2020 12:37 AMEarlier today I went to the store Burlington and I saw these metal reusable straws. I thought about this class and I bought them because I love my straws and with this challenge, I need to refuse my straws and now I happily can since I have my reusable straws. I will upload a picture of my straws tomorrow!-
Ana Dutciuc 11/09/2020 11:43 PMThat’s amazing Alyssa! Keep up the fantastic work ! -
Alma Maravilla 11/09/2020 10:57 AMThat's awesome, they sell the straws everywhere now and some even have a case to carry it in. Keep up the good work.

Alyssa Panduro 11/07/2020 12:35 AMI am actually enjoying this challenge. I always notice myself trying to keep the environment clean and try to refuse as much plastic as I can. I really want to help make a change because I realized how much I did not care and would take advantage of everything that was given to me such as bags and straws, but now that I know how bad these items are for the environment I try to avoid them. Now that we are all very informed I hope we are all doing the same! :) Good luck everyone!!-
Ana Dutciuc 11/08/2020 10:49 PMThank you for your support! Seems like you are achieving a lot. Way to go and good luck to you as well! :)

REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Brush My Teeth Without Running WaterWhat is the main water source in your region? If you don't know, how could you find out?
Alyssa Panduro 11/05/2020 12:23 AMI have no idea what the main water source is in my region. When I looked it up on google, it explained that the water comes from lakes, rivers, and, streams.-
Ana Dutciuc 11/08/2020 10:48 PMAs long as we're not wasting water

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Skip the StrawHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
Alyssa Panduro 11/05/2020 12:21 AMI would say I already have the "R"s incorporated in my lifestyle. I already try to reduce the amount of items I use. I always reuse things if I can't refuse it. Something I need to work on is repair. If something is broken I will just throw it away before putting in time thinking how to fix the item. I love repurposing items but sometimes it could lead me into saving a bunch of things I don't need.-
Ana Dutciuc 11/08/2020 10:48 PMKeep it up
