    I hope to keep up these challenges long after this official challenge ends. The 15 minute walk in nature is a good way to pause and practice self-care and really isn't that difficult to do. Lots of good ideas on simple ways to make big changes in our lives!

    I've been trying to do these challenges while on the road. It's been fun to talk with communities about and give them ideas about eco practices they had never thought about before!

      Thanks, Zach...I've spotted no moose on these travels...just many eagles! All of Alaska is an eagle sanctuary!

    Challenging myself to be mindful while on the road especially in places where there isn't the same emphasis on conservation, sustainability or simple living.
