    I thought it went well! I'm usually quite busy and have little to no time during my day to go out of my way to do anything ecologically sound. However, it was nice being able to choose from a variety of activities that can easily be done throughout the day that affect my footprint on the Earth. Little things really do go a long way!

    I learned that eating vegan really isn't that difficult if you just apply yourself. I still have difficulty when I'm not at home but I'm going to continue my vegan journey and hopefully I will get better at it as time goes on. This was a wonderful challenge and I'm proud of everyone that contributed!

    We have fast food restaurants in place of grocery stores in many communities. These restaurants are meatcentric, selling mostly beef. I think the best way is to encourage and educate people to eat less meat, because it is something we can all do. Not everyone wants to become a vegetarian, but it is possible for people to eat less meat and buy...

    My Eco-challenge went well, but I would say actually figuring out the structure of the challenge/website was more difficult than I anticipated. I thought I understood the concept, but it wasn't until half way through the challenge that I finally realized I was supposed to be doing my actions daily. I was under the impression these were all one...

         I learned a lot from participating in the Eco-Challenge.  I chose to pick 6 goals and I only achieved all six once.  On average I reached about half of my daily goals.  I learned that it is very hard to achieve all my goals each day.  Living a life where I am aware of the damage the decisions I make to the environment is beneficial.  To...

    I learned numerous things from participating in this challenge. The first one is that starting small with your goals is okay. I mistakenly made 6 goals for my challenge when I only successfully completed 3 of them. Even though I didn't accomplish every challenge, I still learned so much about how I can lessen my footprint. I was mad at myself...

    I have tried to have gratitude journals over the years, but it goes in waves.  The structure of the EcoChallenge keeps me on track and accountable every day to think purposefully about gratitude.  Knowing that I am keeping a list of the many things that I appreciate and cherish offers positive energy, which keeps me centered and motivated to do...

    I started on my CBL today, I interviewed a woman who worked in a sweat shop in Nepal as a child laborer. Her story was intense, amazing and eye opening. It was energetically draining to hear her story. I realized that from the moment I first heard her story, at a woman's empowerment event in September that I have not bought a single garment of...

    I went to a Halloween party that was themed "Murder Mystery," and spent a few hours roleplaying a character instead of staring at my phone and hanging out with friends. I was the murderer!

    I meal prepped for the next day and a half by cutting up all vegetables in the house that I was dog sitting in, and I roasted a variety of peppers and onions.
