REFLECTION QUESTION
At Work Turn It Off

Was this action easy to add to your daily routine? Why or why not?

Turning off my computer monitors is a very simple task. So simple, it has inspired me to find other "easy" ways to save electricity. One thing I have looked into is "ghost energy" which pulls electricity when not in use. I have now started unplugging items that are not in use.

Is anyone doing anything special to commemorate Earth Day? After work, I am going to walk through the park near my house and collect garbage.

  Hi Candice! I am also bringing gloves :) ALSO, you bring up a good point - does dog poop count as garbage? I have two dogs . . .
  Just kidding :)

  That's a great idea, Nicole! I took the opportunity to walk outside from one meeting to the next and picked up some trash along the way. I plan to up my collection today on a walk later with the dogs.

REFLECTION QUESTION
At Home Compost Food Waste

New to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? How will you use your compost once it is ready?

I am new to composting. Even though my mother/neighbor offers to let me use her Compost Crusaders bin (https://www.compostcrusader.com), I didn't frequently use it. Since the challenge started, I have used it almost daily. It is creating a new habit and I like that I find myself checking what I am throwing into the garbage before I do it.

  I have a compost bin and actually took out my compost from my kitchen today! I also put in some coffee grounds. There is something living in there because I find tunnel openings.

In case you were not aware, you get more points for doing a daily check-in, rather than going back (which is what I was doing) to check in.

I am constantly scanning the ground for garbage to pick up. I am not sure this is a good thing . . . :)
