Stefani Valkonen 10/26/2022 4:59 AMOn this final day of the challenge, a few thoughts as I reflect on my experience. One of my biggest challenges was to limit screen time. I didn't realize how much was spent cumulatively on computer, phone, tablet, tv, etc. Our information is so digitized (even the books I read are on kindle) that it requires more intentional effort to disconnect. This eco challenge has helped me recommit to finding ways that I can personally improve my impact over time. Thanks for being on this journey with me! -
