Part VII: Module I
"Pen To Plan"
You’ve got the necessary items and implemented them by now.
But actually using them to their maximum impact is what will leave a positive mark on the campus...and on yourself.
You need to turn your sustainable mindset into second nature.
Don't worry, we've done just that for you...
Presenting you three personalized routines: morning, mid-day, and evening, so you enjoy the process.
It’s like having a personal sustainability coach in your pocket.
Set your mornings to elevate your day for optimal productivity.
Make clever use of your new Stainless Steel bottle...
If you grab your phone as the first thing in the morning, better ditch that toxic habit.
It rewires your brain on a sub-level for the rest of the day.
Grab your stainless steel water bottle and chug some water - your organs will thank you.
Optional:
A
slice of lemon or cucumber makes hydration feel bougie while it completely skips single-use plastic bottles.
And if you wish to know...
Drinking water first thing kickstarts your metabolism, and using a reusable bottle saves you from contributing to the 50 billion plastic water bottles discarded annually.

How about you brewed your morning caffeine fix in a more optimal, less pollutive way?
Remember that stainless steel mug from earlier...
Skip the disposable pods and brew it directly in the steel mug. You'll have better thermal balance too.
And without getting too nerdy...
Coffee pods generate hundreds of millions of pounds of waste yearly, and switching to a reusable solution keeps that waste out of landfills.
(National Coffee Association)
Your mid-day routine is all about maintaining momentum and staying organized...
While being conscious of your ecological footprint.
Pack your prep lunch in the Glass Food Container - or if you've switched to steel - works the same wonders.
Don't bother poisoning your own food by using single-use plastic wraps or store-bought containers...
...enough of those chemicals.
Glass containers reduce exposure to harmful chemicals like BPA and can last 5 times longer than plastic.

Also, why not use your brand-new Bamboo Utensils to enjoy your work break consciously and responsibly?
Keep them in your bag for easy access in between campus lectures or during group work sessions.
And if I had to trust the WWF...
I don't know about you, but I definitely would.
Switching to bamboo utensils can save over 500 plastic utensils annually —small action, big impact.

Use Beeswax wraps to prepare your tomorrow's meal...
...and help your bank account and the environment.
These wrap types are reusable, compostable, and much better for nature.
Beeswax wraps last 6-12 months and can replace hundreds of single-use plastic wraps. (Greenpeace)
If you've had a truly productive day, write down wins, lessons, or gratitude in your notes.
Spend the the final 15-20 minutes before a great night's sleep journaling.
Reflection keeps your mind running for good, and making another use of your phone helps save millions of trees annually compared to traditional journals.
(Ellen MacArthur Foundation)
Listen, when you start to really integrate sustainability into every part of your day, it becomes a habit.
Doing such routine is about aligning your values with your lifestyle.
By now, you have almost broken free from the toxic subordinance that you've been kept in for so long.
Create a lifestyle that inspires others to follow your lead...
Witness and review the RAW data of AUBG's cafeterias weekly and the impact they have on the campus...and on YOU.
The unfiltered truth is awaiting you in bright light just on the corner.
Due to its highly confidential nature, we are not allowed to publish it anywhere but here.
This is your ultimate and final way to influence the change you rightfully deserve to experience.
Don't be a subordinate anymore.
