I'm still skipping along with this challenge!

I believe because we never see the supply chains of all the components of the goods we consume. If we will only understand how much is required in producing, assembling and transportation, we probably will avoid certain items that has a greater carbon footprint than others.

Find places where I can repair anything that I own and avoid buying new ones. Worst case scenario, I can also donate my goods to non-profits or event Arts which they do amazing things with donated items

My next step is avoid all paper receipts from all transactions as much as I can, plus eliminating magazine subscriptions and use electronic means

I carry one reusable bag in my car most times, however times when I forget, I either carry things by hand or request a paper bag which is biodegradable

Donate to charity and get employee match through my company

The recent trends of habitat loss  by so many species due to our human activities like transportation and agriculture, made me realize the importance of getting involved.

I started asking paperless on bank statements and payroll since all of this is available electronic. Best of all I dont have to file so many papers at home which is getting out of control!

I think by setting example and talk about it with my colleagues, we can all join this challenge and avoid waste.

I have been adding sugar mostly to coffee. I will now try to enjoy coffee without it to see how I feel throughout this challenge and beyond
