I walked at least 10,000 steps today

It has been great! I talked to a lot of people. 
I recycled 80 pieces of posters

I take a bus back and forth school

I took the bus to come to school and I bring water bottle so that I reduce to use plastic cups. and I'm gonna work out tonight

Another goal I have accomplished is creating new resources for the communities I identify with. I was able to connect with staff members from the counseling center to start up a counseling group for LGBT students, not only will it benefit Cascadia students, but also UWB students as well. It shows how celebrating national coming out day can effect change in meaningful ways. 

It has become easier, and easier to talk about sustainability with my peers. Using my platform as a student representative I find myself in more and more conversations with others regarding sustainability all the time. I am seen as a resident "expert" among those I work with. It is great that they have an interest in the subject, and want to see the changes I envision. 

Nature walks have been difficult considering the massive amounts of rain we have been receiving lately, but they are still possible with the proper gear! 

Yesterday, a few students from my cohort and I got together for an octoberforest event, at Post Doc Brewing. It was fun to see how our presenter connected forest conservation, to water quality, and beer quality. It was a fun filled event, and I am happy to have gotten an opportunity to see a professional having fun with his work while incorporating a meaningful message. 

Today I had the opportunity to speak to whole class about my position at Cascadia, and Sustainability initiatives that are currently happening.

My coworkers should be prepared to receive some valuable information, and thoughtful encouraging to be more sustainable. If there is anything I know from this challenge is that there are many areas where my team already performs sustainable practices.
