  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Choose Two-Sided Printing
    Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Energy Choose LED Bulbs
    Changing lightbulbs is an excellent first step toward energy efficiency! In what other ways can you exercise your civic duty to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions?

    All my cups and silverware are recyclable. I'm constantly re purposing  items. I love crafting and i'm constantly saying ooh ! i could use that to make a sign usually its a pallet or piece of wood i'm referring to lol
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Work from Home
    It takes the average worker in the United States 26 minutes to travel to work. One way to fix long commutes would be to make cities more affordable. An even simpler option: promote the use of telework. Are you in an industry that would allow you to work from home? What are some obstacles you might find yourself facing while working from home?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Recycle Everything I Can
    What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

    I recently learned that its not entirely  necessary to wash out containers to recycle them. They also take pizza boxes too. They just prefer not to take those items to reduce odor in there warehouses.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste 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?

    I use sandwich's bags every week to pack my daughters meals for the week. Instead i have been using reusable storage containers.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    I had to factor in the time it would take me to walk into work.

    I got smacked with a horrible cold right in the middle of the challenge so I'm having a hard time keeping up with my challenges!  At least I can still compost every day.  ;)

    The biggest challenge for me is having to wash my cups rather than throwing them away and easily grabbing another one. By washing directly after use, it is easier to clean.
