    It took me about 15 minutes to come up with that. Consider yourself blessed. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    While water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?

    There is less plastic going into the water and land fills. You could set yourself a reminder to bring a reusable. You could also stop buying cases of water.

    Waste Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe 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?

    Convenient fast food cups make it difficult. Knowing that I have switched makes me feel like I’m contributing to the cause.

    I would like to get an extra hour of sleep. Shutting off my phone helps.

    Exercise with your friends or go for a jog on a nature trail.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    It doesn’t surprise me. People are wasteful. We could invest that money in charities that provide food for people that need it.
