REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthHow does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Kaylee Patrenets 10/20/2024 6:51 PMUsually, I tend to use 2-3 straws a day because I don't like drinking out of cups that don't have straws but I started using a reusable straw that I can carry around and reuse consistently.
