UWB/CC Crow-navirus Isolators

I learned how much our community cares, and a lot of the background and enthusiasm from your updates, team! Thank you everyone so much for participating, and I'm thrilled that we made an impact together!

The last time this happened, I purchased a new reusable bag from the store. I did not have a bag because my husband had taken my bags out of my car and forgot to put them back.

I am currently working on phasing out plastic storage bags. I am slowly purchasing reusable bags made of silicone. They are expensive so I am having to spread out the cost. I use them to freeze food purchased in bulk. The silicone bags are washable and work really well.

The best way to advocate is to not buy bottled water! I have reusable water bottles for myself and my grandchildren. We load up our water bottles before trips to the park and store.

I make my own tea every day. This allows me to use my reusable mug and opt out of using single use cups.

We receive monthly updates on our energy usage compared to last year. Our energy usage is down! We also receive annual updates on our energy usage compared to our neighbors. It is important to continue to work on lowering our usage.

I have started using reusable fabric rounds in the place of single-use cotton balls. I will not purchase single-use cotton balls in the future.

Supporting our local organizations and businesses helps keep down greenhouse gases from unnecessarily long car trips. In addition, the owners and operators are our neighbors and more invested in the community.

I have noticed how much lighter my garbage is since composting!

This has been a lot of fun! It's easier to reduce my carbon footprint when working from home and not commuting to work everyday, but I still appreciate seeing the pounds of CO2 I'm saving.
