    Reducing the amount we use and finding healthy alternatives. Set yourself up by realizing you can save money while also saving the environment in order to persuade yourself to make a permanent change. Using 1 plastic water bottle is better than buying a whole new case of water.

    My challenge is going great! I was a vegetarian for 9 years previously, and I thought that going meatless again would be really challenging. Apparently it is much easier to go back to those old dietary habits than I thought! I often cook with my parents or other family, ad it is great to see that they are eating less meat now too.

    This week my goals that had to do with the outdoors went well because of the weather. The goals that involved water didn't go as well, I found myself forgetting to do the little things.

    Instead of using tortillas to make tacos, I made a cornbread topping for a Mexican-type casserole.  This made it cheaper and with (nearly) zero packaging waste.  The beans came from a re-fillable bulk container, the cornmeal from a big bag, eggs from a local farmer, and peppers from my garden. Ok, so the milk did come from a plastic jug, but I...

    Plastic straws, plastic lids, plastic silverware, item packaging. My girlfriends mom bought me a metal reusable straw which I now use instead (I also reuse any plastic ones I get), I've also been reusing plastic silverware, item packaging is hard to avoid because it is not in my hands waht the companies use or not.

    School and how to better myself academically. I focus a lot on spiritual stuff but I think it would be beneficial to my grades to start focusing on my school work too.

    I've been avoiding plastic straws and plastic lids for cups and also reusing plastic silverware whenever I eat or drink anything. It was quite the change at first but I'm definitely getting used to it and making a habit. Sometimes there are times where I really wish I had a lid for my drinks but I guess it's worth it considering the impact...

    My challenge very going very well. I selected two challenges, one of which I was more familiar with, the other I anticipated to be more challenging. My first goal was to meditate for 20 minutes each day, and I decided to break that down in to two ten minute sessions. This really helped me make the most of this challenge by getting the benefits...

    My challenge is going well, accept it is more challenging than I thought it would be. Pretty much once a day I have one meal without meat. This really makes me think about what I put into my body. It changes the way I eat sandwiches, like without ham or salami. I also have to make sure I get a vegetarian marinara sauce for my pasta instead of...

    For my eco-challenge, I chose to reduce my shower time from 10 minutes to 5 minutes. When I first started this challenge, it was quite difficult considering that I had become so accustomed to taking longer showers. After about a week, it became a habit. What I found that helps with this challenge is if I take a shower at night versus taking one...
