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?
Isabella Kuhlow 10/23/2019 5:17 AMI typically don't drink coffee but when I do now I use a reusable coffee cup that looks like a coffee cup that you could get at a seven-eleven. I feel better now even though I know it is not that big of a deal but now I think about how many cup I would have thrown away. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHigh Impact Action Track Plant TreesHow is planting trees good for your mental, physical, and spiritual health?
Isabella Kuhlow 10/23/2019 5:12 AMPlanting trees is good for your mental health because its getting you out side and it has been scientifically proven that if you spend a few minutes outside it can clear your mind. It is good for you physical health because you are being physically active when you are planting the trees.
