After having read a few chapters and articles about how Starbucks is converting food waste into bioplastic and Hershey’s harsh treatment toward the employees, I thought sustainability typically applies to businesses and large organizations. I visited www.yousustain.com, and the website suggested several ways an individual can impact our world. I was able to sign up for several challenges. I saw very ambitious ones, but I decided to start something doable so I do not feel completely ineffective at the end. I chose the ones that I could start even in the next hour. I chose the three following challenges:

1. Use reusable bags for a week
2. Bring plate into work
3. Exercise

I have already been doing number 2 and 3. However, having committed to these challenges, I wanted to become consistent in my exercises and using reusable plates.
