Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change Week 1: My SMART Goal

For my Environmental Health class, we are assigned to do an "Eco-Chich" lifestyle change. For this, we need to make one aspect of our lives more environmentally friendly for 10 weeks. My SMART goal for this project is...

     I will use a cloth napkin for 2 out of 3 meals I eat in daily in my home for the next 10 weeks.

I chose this goal because cloth napkins reduce waste by not throwing away and wasting muliple paper napkins daily. Cloth napkins are environmentally friendly and sustainable...you use one, wash it, and reuse it. I chose to use cloth napkins because my grandmother always uses them, and I have always like the idea. Many restaraunts (such as Olive Garden and Grizzlies) use them, too. To me, now seemed like the perfect time to start using them in my own home.
