    Today I cleaned up my ceiling and found a lot of shopping bags with stuff in it. I tree away the things I will not use again and will use the bags for my shopping.

    It was a rainy sunday in Holland, so I stayed in and cooked a delicious biological meal and a creamy soup with mushrooms. Hope that tomorrow the sun will shine, so I can outside for a stroll. Did miss that today.

    I really enjoy being part of this project with so much people from all over the world. I am from Holland in Europe and wonder if this project is known in my country. I follow  Rob Greenfield since I saw a blog of him on facebook. Glad I opened it and read it.

    Every weekend I cook 1 or more biological vegetarian meals or soup and save it in small boxes in the refregarator (sorry, don't know the excact  english word...). So I can eat everyday a healty and zero waste meal. And I don't have to cook everyday day and can spent my time on other nice things.

    This week I pay more attention to my use of electricity. I do not switch on the light when using the toilet or brushing my teeth. I can also do that with my eyes closed, so why turn on the light?

    I did fine today with my challenges: Saving water, eating biological food and be aware of my electricity. Everyone else: Good luck with your challenges! 😃

    The challenges I choose to do, are not difficult, but being part of this project give me the boost to really do them! . To share them and being part of a worldwide team gives me really a great feeling.
