I can’t believe the challenge is over! I really feel like I’ve made some good habits out of this, and I will continue to look into more ways I can challenge myself to be more eco-friendly :)

I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get to all of my one-time challenges (I didn't improve a bus stop) but I'm pretty proud of completing pretty much everything else! I think I'll think about and maybe even assign myself a few more of these challenges still even though the official challenge is over - still a great way to change and create...

I can introduce other R’s into my life by jus thinking about my actions of my everyday life. Having the question “how can I do this, but also make it eco-friendly?” In the back of my head at all times

For the last few days I've been thinking about what I'll do once the challenge ends.  I'll definitely continue not eating animal products, since it's become so easy. There's a vegan recipe for just about everything, even the Mexican food I've grown up eating thats usually filled with meat or dairy products. I'll probably start only buying vegan...

I think that doing this has really increased my awareness about how we treat the world and I'll probably keep doing ecochallenges just because. 

Well, this Eco-challenge has been a challenge for sure. At first I was not sure how short showers would turn out. Now after completing this Eco-challenge I feel like I can continue this after this month. The high amount of water use is something I will be more aware about.

I wish that they had an ecochallenge app so that it could remind me on my phone to check in. I've done all the check ins but it'd be a lot more convenient. 

Ahhh I haven’t posted an update in over 10 days! I was so distract last week with exams and life in general, but I’ve stuck with my eco-challenge promises for the most part. I’ve been trying to incorporate more reusable items into my life since starting this challenge. Next I want to try reusable sandwich wraps and try to remember to keep my...

Wow, I need to be aware of the challenges to being a business owner of color and support them more. Disparities of city contracts and loans...I didn't know. How do we support them...will ponder...

I think that habit can really play a huge part in the battle against change. If someone is used to buying water bottles and because it is convenient then there isn't much thought of stopping. Making refilling water bottles a rewarding thing to do can help to start to make the change.
