I learned that there are so many resources available in my area that can help me with recycling and conservation.  I feel like I am beginning to do my part in the efforts towards sustainability.

This challenge was a life changing experience.  I am embarrassed to admit just how ignorant I have been.  I feel like I have developed habits from this challenge that will be sustainable in the long run and help make a contribution to making things better.  

One of the biggest implications that I have seen of spending time inside and on screens is losing gratitude and appreciation for the outdoors and mother nature.  I have found that I have made a conscious effort to be outside and embracing time outdoors, I am appreciating it more and wanting to do things in life that make a difference to make it...

I have found through some research that using "if, then" statements can really help me to minimize negative impacts.  Telling myself if I purchase something, then the impact or result will be something in the near to distant future.  This has really helped me abstain from impulse purchases.

The weather is changing, getting colder, and getting wetter.  It was kind of funny how I had to really talk myself into a walk outside today.  I am so glad I did it.  I picked up a little trash on my walk and also reduced my stress levels by getting away from the keyboard for a bit.

This week I made a concerted effort to "under-buy" food and only buy what I knew I for sure would make.  I have wasted far less food and though I've had to run to the store for last minute meals a few times, it feels good to have wasted less and a clean fridge to boot!

Over the weekend I culled my closets and donated a ton of clothes, shoes etc I wasn't using.  I especially cleaned out books and brought them to little libraries in my neighborhood.
