Andrew's actions
Simplicity
Buy Used Clothes
I will spend 10 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.
Simplicity
Go for a Daily Walk
I will take a walk for 10 minutes each day.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Waste
Use a Reusable Mug
I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Andrew Smith 10/07/2019 9:38 PMIt's a soccer practice night, so my family did carry out for dinner. The restaurant was getting ready to put our order into 3 or 4 plastic bags, but I declined. It was a little awkward carrying the individual (compostable) containers our of the place and back home, but it was worth it having a "zero-landfill-waste" dinner!-
