    It was fun to do, and keep track of. I think that I could have done a bit better overall with my challenges, but overall, I did contribute to preservation.

    Lazy day today. I will do nothing, aside from eat my meal prep, do school work, and sleep.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health Eliminate Toxic Plastics
    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    I tend to not eat out very often, and therefore am generally not using single-use items. Mostly, I eat at home and use the utensils I own.

    Nature Go for a Daily Walk
    How do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?

    With walking, I can take in more than just the road ahead of me. Meaning, that I notice a lot more about the area.
