    Thanks to the challenge I started bringing in a plastic container that I wash afterwards instead of throwing a box in the trash.

    It may be the last day of "this challenge" per se, but I saw it as a helpful reminder each day to stay mindful of all of my actions, and how they affect the world that we share... and hopefully I was not the only one to gain some new (green) habits. Cheers!

    Taking a break each day to walk outside has really helped my energy level stay up during the day!

    This is it, truly the final stretch. In the last couple weeks, my measurable impact was that 2 lbs of paper, 260 gallons of water, 10 cups, and 35 plastic bottles were potentially saved. I hope everyone realizes the cumulative impact that small, daily habits can have.

    I love that I have learned that taking a shower in less than 5 minutes is something I was already achieving before starting this challenge. This challenge just made me aware of it.
