Air and water quality but that is pretty normal for a large city.

By giving people the control over their own food.

Soups are great for these items, or a smoothie the next morning.

At the grocery I just use the cart to go to the car, where i have extra bags.  

All done ... NOT!  This is just the start.

A great goal would be to bike to locations within a 15 minute bike ride from my house, instead of driving alone or with a friend! You can always bike with a friend for errands.

I normally put things in my purse if I don't have a reusable bag. Putting a reusable bag that packs up small in my purse could help me out, because I often forget to bring a bag with me into the store even if it's in my car. 

Last day to participate in October's Echochallenge! Of course, the goal is to continue to think about the positive/negative consequences of your actions every day!

I think I have a lake w/in a mile of my house and the river w/in 3. Runoff from houses, etc. is horrible for water due to all of the pesticides and fertilizers that people use on their yards. Not to mention the runoff from roads w/ oil and other chemicals or salt.

Composting definitely helps me pay attention to what I'm getting rid of and I love that you can compost some things that you can't recycle (egg cartons and pizza boxes). Though I typically reuse my egg cartons or take them to my Coop for reuse.
