Not checking on Facebook shouldn't have to be so hard. I am going to try not doing it for three weeks.

Sachie Howard 10/19/2019 10:54 AMI'm in Las Vegas at a conference. It's very hard to avoid a bottled water here. I did ask a waiter to take back a plastic straw at lunch yesterday. I am trying to be mindful of our environment, but Vegas has its own rules. It takes a lot of effort to avoid plastics. Things are more complicated for me since I'm with other people. I'm learning great deal about the reason why critical thinking is so hard at the conference. Captain Sachie -
Sachie Howard 10/12/2019 4:47 AMI'm trying to cut down on eating meat. I had delicious cauliflower steak with spicy green salsa, last of fresh tomatoes from my garden and stir-fried mixed peppers. Didn't miss meat a bit. Will try to have at least one meatless dinner once a week. This is harder than it sounds since my husband likes to cook dinner and trying to convince him to go meatless is a big thing. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Limit Social MediaSocial media can keep us connected with loved ones, make us laugh, and help us to learn new things. It can also take more time than we realize or intend to give. After doing this action for a few days, how do you feel? What do you notice?

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity De-Clutter My HomeHow can you prevent yourself from accumulating more things in the future?
Sachie Howard 10/03/2019 4:14 AMI am a hoarder. My office gets filled with disorganized junk. Being aware of my problem and being mindful by taking care of a few things everyday to keep my mess under control is a huge challenge. I am using this opportunity to develop a new habit to get my mess cleaned up. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHigh Impact Action Track Reduce Single-Use DisposablesBringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Sachie Howard 10/03/2019 4:07 AMI have a reusable shopping bag in my car, but often forget to take it in. My way of avoiding plastic shopping bag is simply carry out the items I bought. It works fine, if I don't buy too many items.-
Devin Converse 10/03/2019 9:54 PMI do the same thing. I always forget my bag so I just carry things out
