Eating breakfast outside in the fog, just to get points on my eco-challenge. Wish I could say I enjoyed it more than eating in my nice dry kitchen.

Hello #HCWH ecochallenge team. I'm not seeing a whole lot of action from the team this week. Remember that you can add your actions to the challenge and back date. For instance, if you ate a meal outside yesterday and prepared it with local ingredients with zero waste, you can go to your dashboard and use the arrow to go to the previous date and take credit for three..count them...three challenges.

Trying to convince my best friend to move from a 30 minute drive to two streets over from where I live. We could walk to each other instead of driving. We live close enough to walk to town for everything. And there is a river walk a few blocks away. Wish me luck!

It's easy to eat lunch outside in this gorgeous New England weather. Likewise, it's easy to walk an extra 20 minutes, beyond my usual daily walks.

Good morning HCWH PGH eco challenge team. I just eliminated a bunch of catalogs. I'm so glad! It was easy. There is a link on the challenge and it brings you to a website called Catalog choice. Super easy.

I am going to have lunch outside. I made a soup with veggie broth that I made using vegetable trimmings that I store in my freezer until I'm ready to make some broth. I composted those trimmings. I used local squash, garden garlic and local onions. It's some kind of delicious! Zero waste, local food, outside feast.
