    This year's challenge got me back into the carpooling habit, which is easier once you get back in the groove.  I learned new things about some river related non-profits as well as more about family leave.   It encouraged me to go through some chemicals in the garage and I have a box  of stuff to go off to Metro from proper disposal.  It was a good couple of weeks of consciously looking at my environmental impacts and how easy making a couple of positive tweaks can be.

    Looking forward to another great eco challenge. I will be good to get outside and exercise as much as I can, and check in on how my activities impact the environment
