Create Your Own Action

Learn about climate change impact on coral reefs.

ii. Tell us a little about your challenge. What's your goal? Why did you pick it? I will spend one to two hours learning about climate change impact on coral reefs. The oceans are the heat sink of the world, they slow down the full effects of greenhouse gas warming of the atmosphere. Coral reefs are at the front line of being impacted by global warming and are currently one of the most threatened ecosystems on Earth.

    Using a re-uable mug challenge was harder than I expected, especially when you are doing things that are outside of your normal routine.  I don't love carrying around a cup everywhere I go.  It would be great if paper cups could also be banned similar to plastic straws.

    Eco-Challenge Tip: If you forget to bring your reusable mug to the coffee shop, order an espresso shot.

    Does anyone read this stuff?  Another fun coffee outing.  I found out Stacy is doing the same challenge as me. Cara and I helped Stacy pick-out a reusable coffee mug.   Is anyone else out there doing the 'Use a reusable mug" challenge?

      Sometimes people read the posts! I think Meeghan is doing the reusable mug challenge as well :)

    It was a little awkward taking my own cup to the coffee shop for the first time , but now I got the hang of it.
