Community Team

Just by being myself. I'm not the type of person who thinks so much about what I wear. I like people because they're nice, not because of their fashion.

I thought that my community didn't accept certain plastics and glass bottles, but today I found out that they accept these now. I don't know since when, and my family has been taking glass bottles to a store that accepts them. LOL!

I would carry things out with my hands. A good practice to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags would be using a reusable bag when shopping to put my purchased items in. I carry it with me so that I am reminded to use it.

I have also been extra determined to not use plastic straws since I made a commitment to reduce my contribution to plastic straw waste.

Even through something as simple as learning a new fact about food waste, or remembering a small commitment I made a week ago makes me more aware and environmentally...

I am enrolled in a community ecochallenge through my college class. I would’ve originally been enrolled into my professors group but unfortunately I was unable to. Fortunately I can join a community group and I have been able to work on my ecochallenge action items. I think the exercises are simple yet informative and the daily actions make me...
