Lifestyle
Watch a Documentary
I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

Use Reusable Containers
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
Pets
Thrifty Pets
I will purchase my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes from the thrift store.

Use Reusable Water Bottles
I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

Anna Lopez 7/15/2019 6:38 AMToday I’m teaching art for a camp, so I’ve been explaining to the kids different ways they can express their creativity without needing to buy new items through recycling paper! We’re making Matisse paper cutouts using recycled construction paper and cardboard from old boxes, origami butterflies using old newspapers, and they brought old books to be able to fold them and make hearts. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONPets Thrifty PetsHow does buying used differ from buying new? How does each purchasing decision make you feel?
Anna Lopez 7/01/2019 10:24 AMBuying used items is a good way to cut down the need of production of new materials and the accumulation of old materials going to waste. I was able to find an elevated feeding bar for my 12 year old German Shepherd at a goodwill.
