Made the beeswax wraps this weekend. Here is one wrapping up half a cabbage. 

I see what doing a little something everyday can do! I planning on continuing this practice after this challenge is over. Hopefully a new habit has been formed.

This eco challenge is so helpful 

It's going great!

The eco challenge is an amazing experience!

I had so much fun participating in the Eco Challenge! 

Feeling good :)

I live in an apartment and noticed many catalogs going directly into the trash. I setup a box for folks to throw their unwanted catalogs, offering to unsubscribe them from the mailings! This will save a lot of extra paper!!!

It's been good to have this challenge--I met new neighbors but it also spurred me to say hi to the people I've been seeing around a lot lately. Good stuff!  And with a couple community events on my calendar and now being signed up for a litter-pickup group in the area, I'd say it's a lasting impact for the good.

This year's challenge really has been a challenge for me!! I pledged to be outside an extra half hour per day. When I decided on that particular challenge it was mainly because I had already incorporated many of the other options into my life, and I am not outdoors as much as I'd like to be. However I had counted on our usual beautiful Fall weather.  This October has been one of the rainiest ever.

So I have really learned that I am definitely a fair weather outdoor person, and that I have a difficult time just being quiet outdoors. I want to be doing instead of being - walking, gardening, weeding.......... In that way, I guess the challenge has successfully made me more aware and given me the opportunity to think of ways to change.
