Becky Mehringer 10/25/2017 1:03 PMSome challenges were much harder than others. Turning off lights and water is so easy to remember. Cooking with zero waste is much harder because it starts with what decisions you make at the grocery store. -
Becky Mehringer 10/21/2017 7:44 PMEnjoying locally sourced food here in Victoria. They are very “eco” aware !-
Dawn Wright 10/24/2017 8:40 PMLoved the picture of the Organic apples. I am sure your glass cider cup didn't have a plastic chemical flavor and it should count as fruit.

Becky Mehringer 10/19/2017 8:43 PMEnjoyed learning about beeswax paper from Dawn Wright! -
Becky Mehringer 10/18/2017 10:47 AMHaving a harder time with "zero waste", when the recycling program has ended at work, and had previously bought food in "recyclable" containers. Look like I will be hauling some items home! -
Becky Mehringer 10/17/2017 8:38 AMExcellent, but I forgot to log in on the weekend. Doesn't mean I didn't continue my challenges, however!-

Jennifer Nelson 10/11/2017 9:56 AMDawn, we should plan a local food potluck sometime! It would be fun to see what people could make with foods from Washington County, or if too difficult, maybe just Oregon. -
Jennifer Nelson 10/11/2017 9:55 AMBecky, what did you choose? If you don't see something you like, you can always create your own! -
Dawn Wright 10/10/2017 8:48 PMI like the local food source idea but it's kind of difficult for the entire meal.
