I have converted to a reusable water bottle at work and home! An easy change that can make a difference! I find myself drinking way more water now and refilling often!

This is easier than I thought! Buying single fruit items do not need their own individual bag! 

This challenge helped me to realize how much plastic I already keep out of my daily life.  I chose difficult challenges so wasn't able to meet them daily but I still feel good about the impact I'm already making!

Oregon Metro has a new site to make it easy to see what is recyclable at home: recycleornot.org / reciclarono.org (Español) https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/article/737963

Portland General Electric now offers rebates for time-based conservation!  I need to learn more about it, but I want to sign up. https://www.portlandgeneral.com/residential/energy-savings/peak-time-rebates

As a maintenance technician it is not only my job to keep the our property in prime condition, but it also has to be clean and presentable. Cleaning up litter not only serves that purpose, but helps prevent further damage to the environment in which we live. It's a win-win.

I could research the health code laws that apply, to see if there are legitimate reasons that merchants could refuse.  If there are, then I should contact local government to ask about efforts to make reusable containers work with food safety rules.

Chopsticks are great!  You can eat almost anything with them, and they're even better than a fork for salad.  Re-using them is even better.

Good! I am really thinking more when I'm out shopping about the packaging things come in.
