Emma's actions
Health
Happiness
I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
Simplicity
Meditate
I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 25 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
Nature
Go for a Daily Walk
I will take a 60-minute walk outside each day.
Simplicity
Buy Used Clothes
I will spend 15 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.
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 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
Energy
Heat and Cool Naturally
I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteWhat do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Emma Fischer 10/15/2023 7:26 PMInstead of straws, I can drink out of the cup. Although this is annoying is is an easy way to reduce plastic for me.-
Emma Fischer 10/18/2023 11:19 AMI have tried some reusable straws! I have not tried any that "unzip", but that sounds really cool and reassuring when it comes to cleaning. -
Rachael Clarke 10/15/2023 9:13 PMHave you ever tried silicone straws? I have ones that "unzip" lengthwise to clean, which is very convenient. I also am a little germophobic and like to be able to see the inside of a reusable straw to make sure they are clean
