It's a new day and I logged in two days in a row.  Woo Hoo!  :)

“Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there.” ― Gary Snyder

I've accepted that we've all got crap to deal with and problems that we're fighting not to be defined by. At the end of the day, we all want the same stuff: fulfillment, love, support, comfort, and a hot-air balloon with laser guns attached to it. The most important thing is that we appreciate the crazy ride we're on.     --Zach Anner

It's been surprisingly easy to incorporate the tasks of my challenges into my life. 

Just like that, this challenge is over. This has been a great tool to help keep in mind the impact you are leaving behind. Happy to say I will be continuing most of these. Looking forward to participating next year and can only hope for a greater impact!

Don't Be The Same, BE BETTER!

The advantages of knowing who produces your food and where it comes from are endless, as this helps you support and buy locally, helps one understand when produce is "in season" or not. This also helps bridge the gap between farm and fork. Our food system relies on trusting the people and environment that were involved along the way.
