This EcoChallenge has been a challenging one for me. Schedules have been tight but somehow I've managed to squeeze in some actions! A quick summary:  Decluttering: made progress, excited for the upcoming winter months to do more.  cleaned out office. Finally! Getting things done is SO much easier and more pleasant.  decluttered phone photos....

Loving the EcoChallenge even more this year. I see it as a conscious way to reset and work at improving my "green-ness". I collected all of my trash last year and hulled it around with me for two weeks and that experience has impacted me throughout the year. Competitions like this keep it fun, but force you (if you allow it to) to...

So maybe I picked too many things to start off with, but my goals with this challenge: 1. Add consistency to my excersize. I just got back from a month long yoga training in Costa Rica and every morning we practiced 2 hours of Ashtanga Yoga. While I don’t have 2 hours every morning, I’d like to keep up this daily consistency of making sure I...

Already mid-October, what!? The EcoChallenge starts tomorrow!? Bring it on. As I've been anticipating the beginning of my challenge to declutter, I've noticed how excited I've gotten at being more proactive. I was determined to start the challenge with my desk cleaned off so I could start working on simplifying more... and wouldn't you know, I...

This year I'm going to do a few smaller challenges and I"m excited to see where they take me.  -Energy: I realized that I have a habit of just leaving my computer on, though I do close it, it is still using energy. I'll be reading news or articles and open up a bunch of tabs and when I realize that I don't have or want to take the time...

I'm looking to do my bit to recover this incredible Earth!

By typing this, I've achieved 5 bonus points. You can too!

I had a lot of fun with the EcoChallenge last year, and I am excited to start again! This year, I am going to try to limit my social media to once/day. This is going to be tough! I tend to peek at Facebook when something on my computer is loading... or swipe through Snapchat in boredom. If I were to add it up, I am sure that it would be a nice...

It's taken me a lot of reflecting to come up with my challenges this year, but I finally feel really good about what I've chosen. 1. Decluttering: I'm constantly stressed out by how much paper is all over my desk, all the time. I'm going to take this time to really hone in on cleaning out files and clearing the heaps of paper that have...

The weather is starting to change (yummy cooler, cardigan days), the days are getting shorter (get out the candles or maybe go to bed earlier), and we're so close to the start of the 2017 EcoChallenge. Yippee! One of my goals this year is to get at least 2 new people to participate that have never done this challenge before! So glad to be...
