REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

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?

What makes this hard is that I want different things to drink throughout the day.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
Ashiya Norfleet 101 4/09/2025 5:54 AM
I could reuse the plastic to go boxes from some places and actually try to fix things instead of just throwing it away and buying new things.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

Reducing your paper mail can reduce mental clutter as well as physical waste -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?
Ashiya Norfleet 101 4/09/2025 5:53 AM
It makes me feel good knowing how reducing paper makes me feel better mentally and how it makes the environment feel better physically. The next step I would take is taking my name off of unnecessary subscriptions so a bunch of random letters and magazines stop coming to my house.

I think it's going pretty good because of all of the reusable water bottles on campus along with how filled the recycling bins are.
