Cara's actions
Women and Girls
Connect With A Nonprofit
#6 Educating Girls, #7 Family Planning, #62 Women Smallholders
I will connect with a local nonprofit working on womens' or girls' issues in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.
Food
Keep Track of Wasted Food
#3 Reduced Food Waste
I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the EcoChallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.
Women and Girls
Help Girls Overcome Health Barriers
#6 Educating Girls
I will donate one or more Femme Kits to help girls overcome health and sanitation barriers to being able to attend school.

Cara Uy-Segal 4/25/2018 10:18 AMInspired by Erin's inquiry to me for an alternative toothbrush, I wanted to share with everyone that I use the green panda toothbrush, made entirely of bamboo including the bristles--which means it's biodegradable! I got mine at Whole Foods but it is also available online!

Cara Uy-Segal 4/12/2018 5:00 PMFor the past few days, I have been in group settings where I feel more responsibility over leftover food! I think it has helped to bring extra containers to share with others...this particular challenge has me devising ways to reduce the length of my foodwaste log! -
Cara Uy-Segal 4/05/2018 9:25 AMWhat is considered food waste? Here's an example scenario: If I have a mold-y lemon and choose to use the pulp and juice to clean my kitchen sink, is it still considered wasted food because I didn't eat/consume it? -
Cara Uy-Segal 4/05/2018 9:19 AMI emailed Linda Alepin, a professor at SCU who is the co-founder of the Global Women's Leadership Network. GWLN is now a part of How Women Lead and I'll be following up with a new contact! -
Cara Uy-Segal 4/05/2018 9:18 AMI started a log in my planner! I hope the list of wasted food doesn't get long! It's motivating me to really plan ahead and keep a strict inventory of what's in my fridge and pantry...Since I'm going away for the weekend, I brought food to share in my workplace because I don't want the food to go bad!
