    There's a challenge in the waste category that is about reducing junk mail.  There's a link to a service online where you can cancel catalogues, which is free.  If you sign up for that challenge and cancel catalogues you don't want to receive anymore, it's a one time action worth 50 points.  It was pretty easy to do!

    I'm finding the three meals a day free from processed foods to be challenging.  Today, for example, my lunch included TVP.  I guess that's processed and so I didn't get it today.
