October 24 at 7:24 PMThis has been a good EcoChallenge for me. I have worked hard on a number of things. I am still struggling to get myself to do my PT, but I will keep working at finding the time for it. I am proud of our team and all that we have accomplished!

October 23 at 7:35 PMI hiked in the National Forest a few days ago, and it was peaceful. Have you ever seen or eaten chanterelle mushrooms that were dried in place (popped up after our brief rains and dried with the subsequent dry weather)? I saw lots of them and took home a few to eat. Hum, we all had some intestinal problems from that, so I wouldn't really...

October 23 at 12:10 PMI used the Think Dirty app to audit the ingredients in my personal care products. Not all the products I use were in the database, but a lot were, and it made it a lot easier than researching each item individually.

October 23 at 10:57 AMFind that I eat less and savor the flavors more.

October 22 at 12:52 PMThis beautiful weather we are having is making it easier to get out and enjoy the outdoors!
