The Challenge went well, and I learned I have a lot of work yet to do, so I am going to print my challenges, so they don't end just because the Eco Challenge has ended, this are challenges I found are good, and that should continue, and be built on. So my challenges are not ending, but just beginning!

Found a couple of non profit organizations, I'll be emailing them just a little later today for information on being a member.

I think that the brushing my teeth without water is starting to become a habit because I didn't even have to think about it this time. But it does help that I switched to a charcoal powder teeth cleaner because it can't get wet until its in your mouth.

I am so amazed at this challenge, and how I was able to do some of the challenges listed. I have had a lot of fun. I am going to print these challenges so I can continue them, and some of them I do anyways. I am excited about the community garden where I live, where we are able to grow food, to help our community be more sustainable. What an adventure this has been, and I am excited to go forward with these challenges, so they are no longer challenges, but everyday life!

My friend just posted how her and her family just went to a local farm and picked some apples, and I am going to ask her to take me with her the next time she goes. It looked like they had a lot of fun, and I can't wait I have never went to pick apples, and I am excited

I am also going to try canning with my daughter, I have never done it, but I have talked to others that have, and they love it.

Where I live we are working on a garden as we speak, and I am excited for that

I enjoy talking to my friend's, and I enjoy it more that we can talk about social issues, and have different opinions, but still love and respect each other at the end of the day.

Keep up the good work everyone. Only two more days to earn those points.
