REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Switch to Cold WaterWhat do you plan to do with the money you save from making more energy efficient choices?
-
Malcolm Roebuck 11/25/2019 9:01 AMMy challenge is going very well. I pay much more attention when taking plastic bags in stores and straws in restaurants. I feel more present when eating without distraction. This gives me a chance to to think about things that I do not usually think about. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Allie Schneyr 11/24/2019 11:06 PMDoing color guard allows me to get in a workout basically everyday while spending time with my friends. In addition, going on runs and hiking with a friend can be beneficial as it allows you to spend time with someone while getting in a workout and connecting with the outdoors! -
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?
Allie Schneyr 11/24/2019 11:02 PMSometimes it can be challenging to make the switch when having a reusable cup is accessible. For example, if I'm out and all of a sudden I decide I want coffee but don't have my reusable cup, it can be very tempting to just go for the single use. Now I try to bring a reusable cup/mug with me so I know I won't have to waste a single use. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Less Screen TimeWhat did you notice in implementing this challenge? Was it hard to choose other activities over screen time? How did you decide to spend your time?
rayshaun watson 11/18/2019 7:18 AMI noticed how many things I can get done by being off of my phone. It wasn't hard to choose other activities over screen time. I decided to go to the gym and workout. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Skip the StrawHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
Malcolm Roebuck 11/14/2019 11:27 AMI refuse to use a straw and lid when getting a drink from Stevenson dining hall. I also put my recyclables into the recycling bins. I can also reuse the cups or use my reusable water bottle. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Whole Food LifestyleMichael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this assertion?
Malcolm Roebuck 11/14/2019 11:25 AMThis is a very good quote. This reminds me of the old saying, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away."
