    It went well.  I did not finish, though.  It was such a short challenge.  I learned a lot about bio digesters.  Very cool!

    It really helped with becoming more self aware of your choices, not just your individual challenge. As well has having some self care practices become priority.

    So far I am maintaining my new less-screen-time habit and making low/no waste meals from scratch at home. 
  • November 13 at 12:28 PM
    I learned how simple & easy it was to make a few changes that ultimately could add up to so much more.  The reduction of screen time (and disconnecting from email when outside of work) not only helped my eyes I'm sure, but I noticed that my stress level seemed lower & I was able to actually spend some of that time reading (a real book,...

    It does not take much to make a difference.  Change takes baby steps.

    Joining the Challenge added incentive to do the things I have am trying to do on a daily basis.  Getting credit for it makes it easier to remember and encouraged me to turn off the screen and go for a walk!

    Final thoughts.  The challenge was worthwhile to get me thinking about reducing waste, and supporting local farms and suppliers.   I had gotten a little lazy on composting over the past year so we are back to nailing that process down.  I also really appreciated support and ideas from Co-workers

    Every time I reached for my phone in search of screen time, I opted to go for a walk instead!  This helped me to keep moving!

    I look forward to this challenge each year and appreciate seeing how my actions can truly have an impact. This year, I carved out time for some decluttering around the house and feel so much lighter after that activity. For some reason, planning ahead to bring my reusable cup consistently was more challenging this time but it's something  I can...

    The challenge was instructive and inspiring to me.  I learned it is not that hard to eat meatless meals, and I realized how many lights I leave on every day.  I love being part of a CSA, and will continue to participate.  And I should get out and do more nature hikes, as it is a great stress reliever.   The big take away for me is mindfulness;...
