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!

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Use Reusable BagsHow difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?
Kendall Curtis 7/14/2020 2:56 PMThis is easier than I thought! Buying single fruit items do not need their own individual bag! -
Kanee Hutchinson 7/31/2019 11:30 AMThis 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! -

REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Keep My Community CleanHow does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?
Gabe DeMasters 7/24/2019 9:06 AMAs 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. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Takeout ProHow could you mitigate issues that may arise if the restaurant does not want to let you use your own containers at first?
Todd Hutchinson 7/22/2019 8:22 AMI 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.-

The legal way is to use GoBox, but only some vendors participate. http://goboxpdx.com
