    Learned I could take a few moments and appreciate our resources, Mother Nature and think more about the choices I make and how it affects it all!

    Thank you for another fun year of Ecochallenge. I find that the thoughts and habits that occur during this challenge overflow into the rest of my year.  Can you add a civic involvement section next year? Thank you again!

    Our ecosystem is a delicate balance and needs to be protected.  The earth is in trouble and we all need to do our part to get our ecosystem back in balance.  Otherwise our earth will continue to see the negative effects and our planet will die.

    I was annoyed at the apparent excessive amount of material used to create the new-fangled 6-pack carriers.  Then I learned PakTech handles are made in Eugene and I may be able to take them here for recycling:  https://hopworksbeer.com/do-good/do-what-you-can/

    Please vote. And consider voting yes on 26-201, a Portland, OR clean energy community benefits initiative: A yes vote is a vote in favor of requiring retailers with a total annual revenue of over 1 billion dollars and Portland annual revenue over 500,000 dollars to pay a 1% surcharge on gross revenue from retail sales to fund clean energy...

    I bike to work and see the same houseless people daily. Today I said hello to one of them as I pulled up to a red light. He said, "Good Morning, thank you for saying hi." It made me want to cry. It is good to acknowledge our fellow human beings and all living things.
