    I consider gratitude much than anything because I always be grateful to thanks anyone who help me. Also, that makes me always find support when  I need it because of my actions and my gratitude. In addition, I feel the same way when I helped someone and they thanks me for it. With gratitude everyone would help each other.

    My challenge going well so far because it’s a good thing to do to help our environment. Also, I realized that you don’t need to have money to help the environment. Every challenges are really helpful. If everyone does one everyday we can protect our home, our environment, our universe. Step by step and together we can do great things.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use Reusable Bags
    What 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? 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?

    I'll bring my back pack if that happened often or carry the items in my hands because some stores are charging for that.

    More buses and trains would be great opportunities to use airplanes and to create more routes.
