    Saying no to straws is still going strong. I think I will never use another straw in my life ever again to be honest with you.

    I actually like these 10 min walks.

    Just finished saving energy by switching to cold water!

    I walk pretty much everywhere that I go which reduces carbon emissions. I also don't eat meat/animal products which helps protect the environment, animals, and reduce carbon emissions.

    This year I have focused on reducing my use of single use items by stashing grocery bags in my back pack and car, meal prepping and bringing real silverware and a cloth napkin, saying no to the straw, and only getting a coffee if I have a reusable cup with me.

    Recycling things I've learned: Most people call "tin cans," but the containers your green beans come in are mostly made of steel.  Americans use about 100 million steel cans every day. That's 36.5 billion cans a year. About 71% of steel cans are recycled, making them one of the most recycled packaging products in America.

I grew up very poor and my mom was always very good about this, especially when it came to meals. She created great meals out of very little. I think that creativity also plays part in challenging the instant...

    I love shopping at the farmers market or local farm stands. But these options are not available during winter and early spring (October - April/May). To combat this challenge, I stock up on things that store well like winter squash, potatoes, onions, carrots, and dried goods such as dried beans and oats. I also try to preserve as much of the...

    My challenges are going well and I believe I will be able to continue them after the challenge.  However, I am having difficulty at work recycling everything I can. For example, we do not compost and we use a lot of paper towels because we work in the food business so I wash my hands constantly. Should I ask if we could hang a towel up or could...
