  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    High Impact Action Track Reduce Single-Use Disposables
    Bringing 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?

    Showing and expressing gratitude helps change how you view the world.  It is a self-fulfilling prophecy... the more gratitude you express: the more things you notice that you are grateful for.  Showing and expressing gratitude pushes the negativity of the world away and allows positive emotional and spiritual growth.
