    I had a great time and enjoyed this years eco challenge.

    Vegan living is easy and better for my body.  It's unfortunate that I got sick early, had an infection, had to deal with transportation stress, might have dislodged a rib, and had other stressors during the 3 week challenge.  It's not how I would like to "turn vegan" in my life, so while I plan to remain 95% vegan, I will have dairy...

    This was fun and challenging all at the same time.

    Well I missed most of the challenge because of complications, but I still tried and that's what matters.  I know I answered a lot of already do it when I went through the actions and that makes me feel pretty good about being an eco friendly person on a regular basis.
