REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterials Launch a Recycling ProgramHow can you take your commitment to sustainable living beyond yourself? How can you, personally, work toward broader change?
Daibelis Acevedo 4/16/2019 8:26 AMMy commitment and work toward a sustainable living does not stop only at me. With the knowledge that I have now I can share this with all the different people that are in my life. For example, people at my work place, at school, and even my friends and family. It's important to share the knowledge one uses because it will do no good if others are not just as involved. Personally, when working toward a broader change I can try to do things for bigger places such as my town, or my school. Instead of just making a change for myself, I can try to make a change for everyone else. -

Daibelis Acevedo 4/11/2019 8:17 AMI recently visited a woman owned business in Clifton, NJ. It is a clothing store names "Once Upon A Skirt" and they have beautiful clothing. I decided to support this business because they are woman based, and owned by a woman. As a part of my challenge, I found motivation to do this. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWomen and Girls Support Women-Owned BusinessesGlobally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. How can you better support communities by supporting women? Can you share any past experiences that may help others take action?
Daibelis Acevedo 4/11/2019 8:15 AMI really like the idea of supporting women in my community so I do things like eat at their local food businesses, and shop at their local boutiques. I choose to do that because I want to show them the support that I have for them, and that as a community we want their businesses to flourish. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Smaller PortionsFun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of eating smaller portions?
Daibelis Acevedo 4/08/2019 6:41 PMServing smaller portions is the way to go! It has really helped me with wasting less food and only taking on what I know I will eat.
