    Somehow, I blinked and it's the last week of April and final few days of the EcoChallenge already. I missed a week when I was on vacation and forgot to check in. A few of the actions I plan to continue - shorter, colder showers. Emphasis on fruits and veggies. Daily gratitude reflection. And *trying* to maintain the needs vs wants mindset, limiting impulse buys. I like the month-long challenge, it helps the transition into a healthy habit.

      I agree. It has flown by. I've thoroughly enjoyed the Ecochallenge and I've learned so much. I plan to continue recycling, using cold water when washing clothes, not running water when brushing teeth, full loads in dishwasher and washing machine, shopping locally, not burning candles, getting a Rainbarrel, more fruits and vegetables, less meat, less sugar and the list goes on and on.

    Cool to see ~120 gallons of water saved in a week by consciously taking shorter showers! Tip: using cold water helps you speed it up ;)
    Make sure to check in every few days for those team points!

    One of the prompts I picked this year is "Needs vs Wants" in an effort to slow down and more mindfully think if I really need something or am acting out of impulse, convenience, or bad habit (agh!). Reduce, reuse, recycle - lines up with the idea of 'upstream thinking' Kaitlin Walker has been sharing with the EOC division. I don't have to figure out where to put something or how to throw it out if I don't buy it in the first place. (And, my bank account thanks me too!).
