Ali Bognar 10/21/2017 4:01 PMMy challenges are mostly revolved around waste reduction because during the first few weeks of being at UWL in a dorm, I have been realizing how much garbage I would accumulate in only a week. After I reduced the amount of times I would get my meals to-go, stopped asking for bags to carry only a few things, and printed using two-sided printing for things I didn't even turn in, I only need to take out my garbage every few weeks rather than once a week. None of these tasks have been too challenging except that I would catch myself before going against any of these. Getting out of those wasteful habits are the most challenging out of this, but it is worth the change of habit for sure.
