    I have to say, this has been pretty hard for me. Before doing this challenge, I would constantly be running out of plastic water bottles because of how frequently I used them. I hike, bike, or exercise just about every day, and it's easy to just grab another water bottle off the shelf. On average, I would go through about 3 a day. At the beginning of the challenge, I bought several reusable plastic and metal water bottles so I wouldn't have to do that any longer. It's frustrating when I don't have a nice, new water bottle at my disposal on a moment's notice; at the same time, I enjoy the sense of accomplishment I feel by refraining from sending so many plastic water bottles to a landfill.
