Briar's actions

Waste

Reduce Single-Use Disposables

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

    It's the last day!!! I'm shedding happy tears! This challenge has given me time to reflect about my busy lifestyle and the need to slow down and focus on waste reduction through meal planning and general mindfulness. Most of the waste I produce is related to me not making time and planning  better. When I take time to prepare my meals I am saving money, reducing waste and taking better care of myself. It's been a good three weeks!

    I've just been reflecting on time and how for me, this is one of the biggest barriers to cutting out disposables. We all get so busy and forgot to make time to take care of ourselves. The EcoChallenge has pushed me to slow down a little and make time for things like meal prep so that I'm not getting lunch on the go... and that is better for me, my wallet and the environment!
