    It can be difficult for me to meet my goals when I have a long shift at work but luckily I made it work today

    My challenge is still going alright, I got back on track which is good. I need to get better at checking in every day though.

    Today is the first day I didn't meet my challenge that I remembered to log. I didn't but any wood products and I haven't made a mug-based drink.

    I once again did not meet my better wood products goal, however that is again because I did not purchase anything today.

    Today is a good day for my challenge, I don't have work so there is no purchases happening today, and I've already made a couple cups of tea while I do homework, in general I am more eco-friendly on days I do not have work because I am not driving, or buying lunch.

    My challenge is continuing to go well, my goals are being met and I am not having too much difficulty meeting them. It's nice to see I can make a difference, and I want to do more once I have more time on my hands.

    My challenge is still going strong, to prevent waste during these times I am cycling through a set of reusable masks I bought around a year ago instead of using single use ones when I have work, as well as reusable gloves that I clean.

    My challenge is going well, for the reusable cup I end up just making my own drinks and using my mugs instead of going out as to maintain safety anyways, but it sets a good trend for after COVID.

      When quarantine isn't in place and I would go to Starbucks to study I would always ask for a plate and mug, that way I don't need to use that packaging when I am already going to be there for a few hours!

      I am doing the same challenge, and yes making drinks like yummy tea at home (for this challenge I cut out coffee) is great! It’s also a plus to save some money and create a beneficial habit! 
      When quarantine is over and you are able to go out and buy a drink, you can bring your own mug! (Some places give discounts for that too)

    My challenge is going well, so far the changes I have made have been relatively easy to do, but I hope with time I can do bigger things.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Forests Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    It can be hard to remember a reusable cup if you go to a coffeshop, I never use disposable at home but if I go to Starbucks I usually forget to bring a travel cup. I am glad to make a difference.
