Go Strawless
I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

Skip Plastic Bags
When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

Choose Reusable Food Storage
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

I will plant a herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

Sarah Brown 7/26/2022 5:07 AMI had an event out of town and lots of food was left over. I had to use plastic bags to take it home. I try not to use them but didn’t want all that food to go to waste. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunityHow does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?
Sarah Brown 7/13/2022 4:25 AMLiving in a safe community is important to people's general well being. I pick up trash to make places safer and more enjoyable to spend time in. It makes me sad when people throw trash and I wish more could be done to discourage people from doing it. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodBesides having access to fresh herbs and vegetables, what benefits will you see from growing your own garden?
Sarah Brown 7/08/2022 3:08 PMHi! I love spending time in nature to help me relax and tending a garden helps me do that. It’s also fun finding ways to use the produce to make great meals! -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodWhy do you chew gum? What habits could replace and meet your reasons for chewing gum?
Sarah Brown 7/07/2022 12:51 PMI chew gum to relieve boredom. I will try to focus on a project or go for a walk instead-
Liz Loehe 7/07/2022 5:51 PMRather than chewing gum, to relieve boredom, I want to eat - preferably chips! Not a good thing -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHow difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?
Sarah Brown 7/03/2022 5:23 AMI’ve had reusable produce bags for a while, but I always forget them. I started putting them in my reusable grocery bags so I have a few with me all the time. It’s not perfect, but I’m on the road to making it a habit!
