With travel and deadlines, two weeks went by faster than expected. I didn’t check off everything I wanted to, but the good news is I don’t have to stop my efforts today! EcoChallenge 4 life

Climbed our ladder outside today to clean out  the second floor clothes dryer cover that  catches the dryer lint. Collected the lint and put it in the compost.

Declined a paper bag to carry out my to go lunch.

Way to go Hennebery Eddy team! 6th out of 600 is not terrible! I love how varied and custom the EcoChallenge is, allowing each of us to find the changes and activities that make sense and matter most. The collective impact is pretty incredible! 

The end of a great challenge, but the beginning of real change!  I plan to continue with 2 meatless meals per day.  Perhaps graduating to full vegetarian in the future....

Now there is one outstandingly important fact regarding Spaceship Earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it.

Great site showing the amount of food wasted in a large city, ways to keep it fresher for longer, how to use it up, recipes and more! http://www.lovefoodhatewaste.ca/why-it-matters/Pages/default.aspx 
Does Portland have a site like this?

Can't believe it's already the last day. Nick's right, 3 weeks would be a real challenge! While I haven't been perfect at all my challenges, EcoChallenge has once again renewed my awareness of the environmental impact my daily actions have. 

Extremely positive and uplifting to write now three things every day that I am grateful for :)

Last Day!
