All of my purchases during the EcoChallenge have been for groceries, over the counter and homeopathic remedies, and one prescription for an allergy nasal spray. I did buy a bunch of birthday cards and Halloween greeting cards to send to my friends and relatives around the country. Keeping in-touch with people by mail, though old fashioned, is important to me.

  Hey Carey, most of the cards I bought say on the back that they are made from recycled paper, so I suppose they're considered to be 'green' cards.

  That's awesome Louisa, you are right, the old fashion way of sending mail can be a green way. Many people now a days are using recycled paper products and I hope more will buy them to use. It is such a personal way to keep in touch. Thanks for posting this.

I've fallen by the wayside regarding de-cluttering and donating. Too many other obligations over the weekend kept me from my goals.

I sent an email to a coworker thanking him for his technical expertise and support on a few projects we've worked together on over the past 6 months. I will also thank him again the next time I see him in person. We do environmental work, so I feel it's important to praise my coworkers for their hard work and dedication to our state's specific environmental goals.
