Eco-chic Lifestyle Change Week 4: Weekly Update

MY SMART GOAL


My SMART goal was to use a reusable water bottle instead of plastic bottles. It was very unhealthy that I was reusing plastic water bottles that I would keep buying in stores. Not only for my own health, but for the health of the environment.

"I will use an aluminum water bottle 100% of the time 7 days a week for the next 10 weeks"

SUCCESSES AND CHALLENGES

My goal has been going very good and I'm doing a good job at remembering my water bottle everytime I go to school. I take my new bottle with me many places. The orange juice stains are starting to fade too! It's still hard at work because I work in a cafe and we can't have any of our own foods or even water bottles inside the cafe, so I have to use a small plastic cup to drink out of. I do keep it in my locker and use it for each break, but I throw it away at the end of my shift. I didn't really think about it, but I think I need to start bringing my water bottle to work and keep THAT in my locker for on my breaks instead of using plastic cups over and over. I will definitely start that change today at work! I bring it with me when I work out and I keep my bottle on my desk next to my bed from the second I get home from school so it's always where I can find it when I'm thirsty!

FEELINGS

I'm happy with the changes that I've made, and I'm glad to still find things I can change, such as bringing it to work and keeping it in my locker during each shift. I look forward to finding new things to keep using it for!

PLANS FOR NEXT WEEK...

I'm going to continue to bring it with me to school and working out. I will also keep it by my bed as usual. I plan on bringing it to work with me also from now on so hopefully I can remember to keep that up! I'll let you know how it went next week!!
