I started listening to sleeping music, to put me to sleep sooner and it's been helping get more sleep.

Still learning so much. I was just researching and reading a news article regarding Household Plastics. I will work on removing these items from my household and using them as less as possible.
Common household plastics linked to thousands of global deaths from heart disease; study finds CNN Study. Storing food in plastic containers exposes you to potentially dangerous chemicals that can leak from the plastic into the food, experts say.- Often called “everywhere chemicals” because they are so common, phthalates are added to consumer products such as PVC plumbing pipes, vinyl flooring, rain- and stain-resistant products, medical tubing, garden hoses and some children’s toys to make the plastic more flexible and harder to break.
- Other common exposures come from the use of phthalates in food packaging, detergents, clothing, furniture and automotive plastics. Phthalates are also added to personal care items such as shampoo, soap, hair spray and cosmetics to make fragrances last longer.

REFLECTION QUESTIONSustainable InnovationWhat sustainable product did you purchase, and how does it align with your values?
Juanita Lerma 4/30/2025 2:53 PMI switched to eco-friendly water dissolving detergent for my laundry. This eliminates more plastic bottles being made & it's better for the environment. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSustainable InnovationWhat surprised you most about the amount or types of plastic you use daily? What sustainable alternatives are you excited to try, and how do you think they’ll reduce your plastic waste?
Juanita Lerma 4/30/2025 2:41 PMReplaced plastic shower caps with reusable beeswax coated fabric ones for bread making. It's obvious how that reduces my plastic waste. -
Erica Bonanno 4/30/2025 11:33 AMIf you walk a mile along an average US highway, you will see, on average, about 1,457 pieces of litter.
According to Keep America Beautiful, if every American picked up 152 pieces of litter at the same time, we would have a litter-free nation. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth and Well-BeingHow did exercising each day impact your physical or mental well-being? What activity did you enjoy most, and why?
Juanita Lerma 4/30/2025 11:07 AMIt's a stress reducer & I consider it self-care. I work hard for others so it's even more important that I work just as hard & even harder for myself. I'm enjoying strength training with weights because it's challenging & I can feel my muscles becoming tighter/harder.
