Food
Try a New Way to Prep
I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
Simplicity
Eat Mindfully
I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
Food
Whole Foods Diet
I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

Dan Petrescu 10/03/2018 2:49 PMJust getting started with EcoChallenge for this year. I'll likely focus on transportation (walk more instead of taking the bus), on food (eat local farmer-sourced and healthy food), and on gardening (planting flowers and plants).
