  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Mug in Those Cold Arenas
    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    Always having clean mugs on hand. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Walk Instead
    Canadians drivers travel at least 13000 KM a year and as high as 18000km. Simply walking for your daily coffee or to the store could add up. Where do you think you can walk instead of drive?
