Angela's actions
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
Energy
Turn it off
I will turn off the lights and power down/unplug electronic devices when not in use. These sticker and light switch covers were driven by the winning student group from the Georgetown Energy Innovation Challenge (GEIC).
Waste
Use a resuable to-go box at Leo's
Sign up for Hoya Hospitality's reusable to-go box program and use the to-go boxes to reduce single-use waste. Start by picking up a token at Leo’s welcome desk down stairs and following the instructions linked on this action.
Waste
Use a resuable water bottle or mug
Skip using plastic bottles and use a reusable bottle. You could win a Georgetown reusable Starbucks cup by participating in the Energy Instagram Trivia @sustainablegu or by being one of the top ten participants on EcoChallenge.

Transportation
Try Capital Bikeshare
Use Georgetown's bike sharing program instead of driving or ubering.
Nature
Connect with nature
Check out what Georgetown University has to offer in regards to improving your health through connecting with nature through the NatureRx program. Join groups or activities centered around getting outdoors.
Food
Choose Organic Ingredients
I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.
Health
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
Waste
Use the compost bin at Leo's and Epicurean
Instead of just tossing out your trash, reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill by composting. Hoya Hospitality composts back-of-house food waste in our kitchens. You can compost at Leo’s and Epicurean too. Epicurean and Leo’s has compost, trash, and recycling options for post-consumer food waste.
Transportation
Ride a WMATA or GU Bus
Use public transportation, like a WMATA bus or GUTS bus, instead of driving or ubering.
Transportation
Stay on the Ground
Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

Angela Sidhu 4/22/2025 8:50 PMThank you Prof. Bonnette for this challenge - I really enjoyed participating! -
Angela Sidhu 4/22/2025 8:49 PMBeing at the airport has made me realize how connected we all are. Georgetown students come from all over the US and the globe and we all share this instituion - similar to how we share one planet. -
Angela Sidhu 4/22/2025 8:48 PMRIP Pope Francis - thank you for all the environmental work you have done! -
Angela Sidhu 4/22/2025 8:47 PMComing back to campus and exercising inside vs outside is definately a big difference. I love how walkable Georgetown and DC is - really makes it easier to spend time outdoors. -
Angela Sidhu 4/22/2025 8:45 PMI look a lot of rest this week for Easter break and it's really allowing me to see the way other people and cultures live, which I think is important in informing my activism. It reminded me a lot of the reading for today. -
Angela Sidhu 4/22/2025 8:44 PMExcited to continue this challenge after today! -
Angela Sidhu 4/22/2025 8:44 PMGreat progress everyone. Love the work we've done. -
Angela Sidhu 4/22/2025 8:43 PMI ate a coconut from a local tree today and it was really interesting to see how easy it is to eat organically when there is a lot of produce around you.-
ABY RASHEL VILLATORO NAJERA 5/01/2025 12:10 PMI have a coconut tree close to my house. It's refreshing to eat one when it's so hot outside. You should also try planting mango trees, I have one at home that produces a lot of mangoes. You'd be surprised how good they taste when they're green and unripe.

Angela Sidhu 4/22/2025 8:43 PMWorking out on vacation is hard but we can do it - I went snorkeling today (wasn't tracked on my watch) and I learned so much about nature.-
ABY RASHEL VILLATORO NAJERA 5/01/2025 12:12 PMSame here. Working out has become tiring during summer, I get exhausted faster, but when you see the results everything is worth it.

Angela Sidhu 4/11/2025 9:28 PMI am currently in the CCC on a retreat and being here has both reminded me of and reinforced a lot of the points we've discussed in class. Sitting in nature without the ability to do work (against the Western urge to be constantly productive) is rejuvinating and reminds me a lot of the All We Can Save reading and how we can all take steps to be more mindful.
