I live right next to a state park and went hiking. It showed me how beautiful my environment is even if I don’t always love it.

Abigail's actions
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Health
Take Control
Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.
Nature
Go for a Daily Walk
I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.
Energy
Choose LED Bulbs
I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
Food
Zero-Waste Cooking
I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthHow do environmental health, community health, and your personal health intersect?
Abigail Averella 10/02/2023 6:03 PMI have Pots and celiacs so being in environments that offer gluten-free food options and where I can often sit and refill my water bottle are vital things for my personal health. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
Abigail Averella 10/02/2023 6:00 PMI recycle at my house which is a huge step. When I am out at restaurants I ask for no straw and I use a reusable water bottle every day.
