    I use single use eating and drinking materials. I have made a point to use my bpa free reusable water bottle everyday. I will start bringing a reusable plate to work to avoid using paper.

    Reducing food waste, eating a primarily plant based diet and starting a compost bin at home are easy yet impactful ways for me to help stop global climate change. Small changes can make a huge impact.

    Supporting small business is a huge way to help your local community. It's also nice to know exactly where your food is coming from and makes me feel more confident in my food choices!

    We can learn to optimize water usage on a daily basis so as not to be wasteful. This will be a helpful skill if water is ever hard to obtain.
