Me and my family have been composting since the pandemic and it has been very useful. We have a small garden in our backyard and our plants have thrived with our homemade compost.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteChoosing 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?
Sebastian Morillo 4/08/2025 2:43 PMToday I had to print some things for an assignment, and my parents also asked me for help printing some documents. I printed them double-sided, saving five sheets of paper in the process. It is a very easy switch that more people should start doing. -

Sebastian Morillo 4/08/2025 2:41 PMSince most of Honduras' power relies on petroleum, I turn off all my electronics when I'm not using them, because I'm being mindful of my resources and not wasting them. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteWhat 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 or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? 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?
Sebastian Morillo 4/08/2025 2:40 PMI buy things everyday, whether that is at my local pulperia or at the supermarket. Today during my walk, I stopped by the pulperia buying a drink and some fruit, and instead of asking for a bag, I carried the fruit in my pockets and held the drink in my hand. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicityFresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?
Sebastian Morillo 4/08/2025 2:39 PMToday I went for a walk to wake me up properly. I usually wake up around 4:30 AM to get ready for school, but since today was online, I figured I should use my time wisely. I went for a walk before logging onto class and it helped me focus more on my assignments and made it an overall enjoyable day.
