Doing the daily challenges is easy, it's making time to learn about water and air issues, a new nature location and buying LED bulbs and especially logging in is the hard part.

My challenge is progressing good, even though I forgot to login on Saturdsy.

I have been taking 5 mi ute/ sea showers, worked out, turned off water when bum rushing my teeth and did not use any paper cups for coffee.
