    I took a nice hike yesterday and found a new favorite hiking spot!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    While water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?

    I bought a reuseable mug for my coffee. Since I got it, I haven't used a disposable cup!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    What was your experience like plogging, or engaging in another way to collect litter while being outside? Did you find anything unusual?

    I walked by the beach and picked up trash I saw on the ground.

    The Ecochallenge is going well so far. I'm trying to spend more time after work taking walks and watching the sun set.
