    Today 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!

    Today 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!

    So 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!

    The 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.

    Earlier 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!

      That's awesome, they sell the straws everywhere now and some even have a case to carry it in. Keep up the good work.

    I 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!!

    Water
    What is the main water source in your region? If you don't know, how could you find out?

    I 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.

    How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

    Alyssa Panduro's avatar
    Alyssa Panduro 11/05/2020 12:21 AM
    I 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.
