    This challenge was a great reminder to be aware of the impacts even small actions can have on the sustainability of our lives as a whole. It's been a pleasure working with all of you. Next year we will beat MHCC.

    It looks like Mt Hood beat our PCC team. :-( However, there's always next year!

    I listened to the OPB program called Think Out Loud, which was talking about recycling and the change in the plastic market due to China's Green Sword (not taking our junk plastics anymore).

    Today is the final day of the challenge! I've been inspired to change my entire commute regime leading to lots of walking and public transit use. I've been walking to the store, walking to the shuttle and spending plenty of time outside. I have reinvigorated my interest in gardening. I'm stepping into another Portland winter feeling stoked on...

    Whoo Hoo! We made it to the end of the challenge! I had a plumber fix one of my sinks and he's coming back to fix more. I'm trying to get more steps daily too!
