    I have enjoyed this challenge, and I have become much more aware of my behavior,  and I  will now consider my purchases more carefully,  I will avoid plastic when possible,  and I will be more connected with nature. Thanks much for this opportunity!

    Today was wonderful!  I volunteered at an animal shelter this morning,  and I turned my daily walk into an impromptu trash pick up with a new friend!  We picked up trash along the river that flows thru our city, our city's actual life blood! I'm now committed to making a new year's resolution to carry a couple of trash bags on every walk and pick up trash while connecting with our earth.

      Nice! And it helps to have a friend along. I pick up garbage sometimes, too, and especially recyclable bits. Since I have just one can of garbage a year, I don't pick up much garbage unless there is a trash can nearby.

      Thanks to both you and Emily for doing this.

      That's a great idea! It's been bothering me more and more how much litter I see on the ground. It's everywhere! All I can think about is all of it getting washed into the waterways now that the rains have come. Unfortunately I'm usually on my way to work and can't really stop or get dirty. It's time to start being deliberate about picking up our neighborhoods!

    I have been walking every day, and "shopping" my pantry and fridge, not the store. Yesterday,  I  did forget my fork when I packed my lunch, had to use a plastic fork, which really bothered me. I am packing a utensil bundle in my car, so this won't happen again.

    I am committed to doing my part for the planet. I recognize that all of these challenges will improve my life and these challenges are so easy and will add to my life, not take away!
