This challenge has flown by so quickly.  I've been participating a few  years now and each year I enjoy it more and more and learn more and more.  The resources you present are excellent and very helpful.

It's so hard for me to believe the challenge is almost over.  Every year I enjoy this more and more and I'm so appreciative of all the work that goes into making this possible.

I saw that Lynne Brown posted that she's going to make the beeswax cloths; i did that last week and it is not as easy as it seems, believe me.  I use sandwich bags from Blue Avocado instead of those plastic things and i love them.  Good luck and I hope this is the correct forum for this comment.

My husband and I went out for lunch today and when we were getting ready to leave I still had over half my drink left.................so I took my "collapse-a-cup" out of my purse and poured the remaining tea into it.  I didn't think anyone noticed until I got to the counter to pay the bill and the young lady there told me how wonderful it was to see someone using something other than asking for a styrofoam cup.  I gave her the name of the cup and explained how it worked and she said she would look it up.  Sometimes I don't give people enough credit I guess.  

Wondering why it's so difficult for some people to get the concept of using their own water bottle and not supporting companies that think they own the planets water...........

Working on the challenge is fun!  I'm also excited because yesterday I received all of the bamboo toothbrushes I'll be giving as holiday gifts to my friends and family as well as homemade tooth powder.  I want to show them how easy it is to avoid plastics.  I'm psyched and I hope I can give them a little nudge into my world.  I love the Ecochallenge and look forward to it every year.
