Martha's actions

Simplicity

Less Screen Time

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

COMPLETED 23
DAILY ACTIONS

Health

Audit Toxic Cleaning Products

I will spend 10 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home or dorm room.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

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.

COMPLETED 22
DAILY ACTIONS

Water

Use Reusable Bottles

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

    It has been nice to get off of my phone and instead go outside. It's helped me relieve my stress and get more fresh air

    It's been so nice to do this, because I feel more pressure to make sure that I complete these actions. I have gotten used to using my reusable straws and bottles!

    Everyone needs water to survive. I try to drink a lot of water every single day to stay healthy and since I workout everyday, I drink a lot of water. Some benefits of drinking a lot of water include, staying hydrated, having clear skin, gaining more energy, and being more healthy overall.

    It was definitely difficult to get off my phone and do something else. But, I think this will be a great challenge and it will get easier over time!
