REFLECTION QUESTIONWater 5-Minute ShowersFive minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?
Emma Stout 10/10/2019 11:01 AMFive minute showers are not only environmentally helpful but also time-efficient. Even though I didn't take a five minute shower today, I did reduce my normal time. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?
Emma Stout 10/10/2019 10:59 AMIn order to minimize the need for plastic bags, I'm going to reuse the ones I already have. (Walmart, grocery shopping)
