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. -
