Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthHow do environmental health, community health, and your personal health intersect?
Thomas Snyder 103 4/08/2025 10:35 AMEnvironmental health is linked to community health, since if there are toxins in the air, not only are you suffering, but your community is as well. Basically, if the environment is bad, your health and everyone else's health is also bad.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteOur ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors, including market demand for recyclables. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?
Thomas Snyder 103 4/08/2025 10:32 AMI saw that a lot of places like Walmart, Target, and Home Depot had drop-pff programs for items that can't be recycled normally. (Batteries/Electronics mostly)
