REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

Many places have alarms on grocery carts so you can't take them outside. I usually stack my items from biggest to smallest and hope for the best. I put smaller things in my pocket than carry whatever I can. I have been doing better at remembering to bring reusable bags or cardboard boxes for heavier stuff.

Simplicity

What did you notice in implementing this challenge? Was it hard to choose other activities over screen time? How did you decide to spend your time?
Lesley Rodriguez-Lagunes 10/22/2025 12:56 PM
I can spend hours without my phone, but I have a bad habit of constantly checking it for emails and other texts. I've been trying to read more, so I've been spending my time reading and journaling.

  I started reading more as well to reduce screentime. I forgot how much I love the feeling of a book in my hands.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature

How well do you know the area you live in? In what ways is a deep knowledge of your surroundings -- known as a 'sense of place' -- important to you?

I went to the Tyron Creek Park, which was 15 minutes from where I live. I didn't know we had many parks in Portland, since I usually just stay within the city. It was a nice change of scenery, and the wind felt nice. I met up with a group of volunteers, and we pulled out invasive blackberries. It was tiring, but it felt very rewarding at the end.
