Participant Feed

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Using empty copy paper boxes to fill with clothes to donate to charity. The boxes get used again, and stack up neatly until I have enough boxes for delivery.

  This is a GREAT idea! I never thought of using them! They are large enough to hold quite a large amount of clothes too!

I have been enjoying the ecochallenge for a number of years now. Each time I find the experience rewarding... there's always something more one can try to leave a smaller footprint. These challenges make it easy to take some small steps that add up.

Looking forward to continuing to put the garden to bed for the winter this weekend... it'll feel good to be outside in the forecasted 70 degree temps compared to the temps we have had these past several days.

One of the actions I chose was to spend more time outside. Today on the radio I heard that we lose a degree or two every few days starting now. By the end of this ecochallenge it's going to be pretty chilly outside.
