Taryn's actions
Transportation
Go for a Daily Walk
Walkable Cities
I will take a walk for 90 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
Eat Mindfully
Reduced Food Waste
I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.
Industry
Recycle Everything I Can
Recycling; Recycled Metals; Recycled Plastics
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.
Transportation
Volkswagen Jetta's Eco Mode
I commute far from King City, so a bike is not an option for me. My Volkswagen Jetta's Eco Mode prioritizes fuel efficiency by reducing throttle response, adjusting transmission shift points to earlier gears, and potentially limiting climate control to conserve fuel. I will activate this mode on my commute to school and back home on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As well as anytime i travel more than 20 mins. On the days I dont have school.

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportationWhat have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?
Taryn Borzini 10/28/2025 2:20 PMI have noticed that I have been slowing down on my walks, looking around alot more! I have enjoyed the peace it brings. I am gonna start to collect cool things on my walks like rocks and now the falling leaves! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONIndustryHow could you incorporate other "Rs" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "Rs" make you feel?
Taryn Borzini 10/28/2025 2:19 PMMakeup! I reused a mascara wand and have been using it as a mini brush to gel back my baby hairs! I love it! I feel funny using an old mascara wand on my hair, but it does better than other combs I've used before. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land UseMindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How does your eating experience differ when practicing mindfulness?
Taryn Borzini 10/28/2025 2:17 PMI feel like I have been chewing my food better and even recognizing more flavors. I feel full faster in a way as well. -
Taryn Borzini 10/28/2025 2:15 PMspent my lunch sitting on a bench, eating and watching the squirrel run around -
Taryn Borzini 10/28/2025 11:07 AMI miss driving a little faster BUT its safer to drive slow with the eco mode on my car. (Eco mode doesnt allow me to speed as fast) -
Taryn Borzini 10/06/2025 5:03 PMspent the week since I started this challenge focusing on slowing down in life, not only by mindfully eating and slowly driving but also enjoying the nature around me on my walks, which has been my favorite part of this challenge so far.
