Day 15: a cool Fall day here in NJ; was able to complete 1 of my 2 daily challenges. Couldn't hang outdoors for 30+ minutes due to having a medical procedure today. I will make up for it in the coming days.
Farewell 2016 EcoChallenge, hello EcoLifestyle continued!

Spent most of today working on my volunteer activities for the Farmers Market, Green Team, League of Women Voters, and as Liturgy Coordinator at my Church. I have definitely reached my 12 hour goal for the last 2 weeks and then some.

Tomorrow we are running our monthly recycling collection at the Pennington Farmers Market. We collect #5 Plastic, styrofoam egg cartons, wine corks, dental care products, plastic bags & film, and CDs/DVDs. None of these items are allowed in curbside recycling in Mercer County. All materials are taken to companies for recycling, often being made into long-lasting products.

  Joann, may I save up CDs & DVDs & get them to you on occasion (or can you let me know of a source of disposal)? Also, do you have an outlet for plastic bottle caps? Thanks!

  Hey Audrey, good job on the EcoChalleng! I don't understand why you don't have any of the energy challenges showing "completed." I can tell by your posts that you were cognizant of the issue many days. Did you just forget to check that challenge off? It was fun reading your posts!
