    This has been an interesting process - I took actions more often than I marked them as complete due to a busy schedule. However, it was great to be more conscious about my choices through this process.

    It's been interesting to see how many actions I already do, which means I am challenged to do even more. I have to be honest and admit that I've been resting on my laurels a bit, but I am gaining invaluable perspective into my personal commitment to sustainability in this process.
