ACHS Students & Faculty: Academic All-Stars

I posted this message on facebook and also asked Driscolls directly on their facebook page to reconsider their plastic packaging: ACHS.edu is participating in the Plastic Free Ecochallenge for the month of July. As part of that I reached out to Driscoll's https://www.facebook.com/DriscollsBerries/ who grow wonderful organic strawberries but...

I'm very pleased with how I did in the Challenge this year. I learned that there are many actions I can take everyday that don't add extra time, aren't more expensive. and aren't a drag to do.

Doing my best today, think it will be first day I will miss a few of my daily challenges, but I'm sick so that's OK. Naps are important.

Happy Monday! Keep up the awesome work everyone :)

So pleased that I was able to replace my bulbs with LEDs. The light is even better for reading.

I've completed most of my one-time challenges! One more to go....It will have to wait a few days though

I've gotten my LED bulbs for my home and today they're going into all the lamps and fixtures that don't have them yet! Won't be buying new bulbs for a while...

I live in Wisconsin, and with the current fall weather getting cooler we pulled the last of the vegetables from the garden last night and started preparing it for the winter.  Slightly sad to see it done for the year however I am already excited to start planning the changes for the next season!
