    First of all, the video of the Home audit was very good. I did one for my home and I need to do at least 3 improvements and a critical check.

    Most of the waste stuff I was able to recycle. But there are considerable amount of plastic waste that cannot be recycled. For example some medicines strips, covering for stationaries...how can this plastic be avoided and recycled ? Need assistance here. The company that produces these products should be generous in my making these packing materials.

    The hard part is to make it as a daily habit.
    I learnt the something that I can give it back to nature is by following this habit.

    One thing that I am uncertain on how to avoid rations that come in packed plastic bag like grains ? Though they are been mentioned like recyclable, but no vendors accept it for recycle. So this one I am not sure how can make impact in reducing this.

    This was not a challenge at all. Every time I go out, irrespective of shopping or some other reason, I made sure I carry a bag with me always, so if there is any surprise shopping, I am not ending up buying plastic bags.

    I joined an event, "Harmonizing With Nature", held by HP TWN Women Business Resource Group with a subject of HP Sustainability Strategy & White Dolphins Recovery Plan. It inspires me more on how and what we can and should do to protect the nature environment and creatures.

    I learnt about microplastics and how they can affect our health. It was a scary read for sure.
    On the single use plastic subject, here in Mexico we've had laws for about 5-7 years now, prohibiting the use of plastic bags in the supermarket and clothing stores. I started to use them way before that, as well as water bottles. It's good to see now more and more people using their own tote bags in the mall and supermarkets.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Freshwater + Oceans Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    What did you learn about the amount of plastic we consume and what actions will you take to reduce your use of plastic?

    The video on how the bottled water was created and its repercussions was eye opening. I moved to a reusable water bottle years ago and it's awesome to see that many people have joined.

    Today being new year for us, attended tree plantation drive organized to plant 400 saplings in our area by the community folks. It was nice feeling to ensure greenery is back with the concrete jungle in the vicinity.
