Still made sure I took a 5 minute shower.

I challenged myself to one meatless meal a day. While I did not stick with it everyday, I became more aware of meatless options and found different ways to get protein in my diet besides meat

I'm finding that de-cluttering and donating items has made me feel like I have a new home. I'm ready to offload more stuff and make more space for kids to play in. 

With this EcoChallenge, I wanted to foster new good habits for myself and for others. I'm happy that while I didn't have this as a goal, I did get a few others to get involved in the EcoChallenge as well. I enjoyed using this as an opportunity to get some things done within a certain time, like mulching, and going to the farmers market.

I am participating in the EcoChallenge because a healthy environments= healthy communities.

I focused on bringing my lunch and using a reusable water bottle and mug. Not only did I have to deal with way less trash than I normally do, but I saved a ton of money on not going out to eat or getting coffee and tea everyday.
