      don’t
      drink
      from
      a
     
     
      disposable
      cup,
      anymore.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I'm
      learning
      that
      the
      little
      things
      |
      do
     
    

    
     
      have
      an
      impact
      on
      the
      world,
      and
      this
     
    

    
     
      is
      one
      little
      thing
      |
      do
      to
      make
      a
      difference.
     
     
      And
      my
      Spanish
      classes
      will
      help
      me
     
     
      travel
      and
      experience
      the
      world
     
    

    
     
      like
      a
      citizen,
      not
      a
      tourist.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Cool

      can
      change
      everything.
