Rose Villa

One more day.  Darned sugar addiction really wrecked my completing my challenges.  

I have been brushing my teeth without running the water since the 70s, so I could not choose this task.

I am pleased to say I deposited the less-than 1 cubic foot of non-recyclable garbage I collected since the challenge started in the bin. Thanks to Rose Villa's dining service's use of composting and reusable take-out containers, I had one mini-jam container from eating in the dining room and the lids of two small  take-out containers. Thanks...

Most of my challenges are part of my life each day.  Isn't that the objective?  I just need to remember to log them!

Finally getting the sugar out of my diet, slowly, one day at a time.  

I am already composting, turning off lights unless I need them, using cold water for washing machine, carrying my own reusable water holder, using recycled toilet paper, and so on.  

Couldn't walk in the rain and wind, but enjoying the 3 things I'm grateful for every night.  Not sure if maple sugar counts as a refined sugar or not, so I didn't add that one today.  

Some things I do that I can't register for since I already do them: Only turn on lights when it's dark if I need to see something.  Then turn them off. Don't drive at all anymore. Run my washing machine and dryer after I go to bed for the night.  I checked with my only neighbor and she doesn't hear it. Run the dishwasher after midnight, and...

By limiting my access to social media, I had lots more free time to read!

Some of the good things I couldn't pick because I'm already doing them are washing clothes in "tap cold water", composting, turning off lights, using reusable water bottles, using public transit, and spending a lot of my time volunteering for the Citizens' Climate Lobby.
