Anna's actions
Health
Happiness
I will write down three things every day for two weeks that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
Waste
Buy in Bulk
I will only purchase bulk food items and avoid all single-package items.
Energy
Switch to Cold Water
I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.
Food
Weekly Meal Planning
I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.
Food
Watch a Documentary
I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Anna Stevens 10/16/2017 7:19 PMBeing home in Vermont and on my family's farm has allowed me to be more present with my food choices and preparing meals for the day and week. We'll be preserving a lot this week. Today: squash. Tomorrow: apple sauce and pickled beets! -
Anna Stevens 10/11/2017 2:53 PMDay One of the eco challenge and also day one of driving from Colorado to Vermont. While I am feeling some guilt for the amount of gas I am using for this trip, my preparations have helped me feel good about this challenge. I bought all bulk items for snacks--fruits, vegetables, I made popcorn, dried fruit-- and enough for our three day drive so I don't need to buy single-use plastics or bags! Excited to hear other updates! -
