    I noticed that I spent my time doing things that I really enjoy, like playing violin or reading, instead of wasting my time. It wasn't very hard for me to choose these things over screen time, since I really like doing those activities.

    'What have you noticed about your purchases? Where are you inclined to make shifts, if any?' I honestly don't really buy anything much. For some things, friends and I pool money together to buy something (like we did for the 'Menu for the Future book). If I do buy something, it is normally very inexpensive and is something that I intend to use...

    Last day of ecochallenge! We are going to continue our discussion course during lunches - our first two meetings were pretty successful.

    NWEI programs make me become physically and mentally more aware of the earth, and what I can do to help the community.

    I feel that one problem in my community is the amount of garbage left on community hiking trails. I definitely feel called to work in that area.

    A new solar power farm started getting built in Niskayuna around a year ago. Solar energy not only saves the environment, but but it could also reduce the cost of our electric bills.
