    I am enjoying the walking, the challenge has spurred me to do what I have been wanting to do more of. Ienjoy  being out of doors walking. Gives me a chance to mediate.

    Eating out, not using printer, challenges are something hard to judge whether to check or not

      I noticed you had selected the "explore my area" challenge. I'd be happy to walk some of the Parkwood paths with you - perhaps some that are new to you?

    Already do so much of this, that is good. Have solar on the roof, turf stone driveway to avoid runoff. Sign petition  and call political people, but know  an do a lot more. I hate plastic try to avoid it. All of this will help environment and my brain health. Thanks for offering this challenge.
