It's always validating to be made aware of what you are already doing to be a more eco-friendly individual & to be reminded of how the simplest of tasks can be incorporated into a daily routine to make one a better steward of this planet.
I still have a long way to go to eliminating the packing waste with my food purchases. It's a true life challenge and one that REALLY annoys me, so here's to keeping up the challenge until I've really made it happen in a significant way!
I walked one hour and 10 minutes with a friend (and her dog) who I hadn't seen in months. Then, we sat and talked for another three hours. I was pleased this year to have three generations participating in the challenge on the PCC team. My mom chose to clear clutter. My older son, a former PCC student who now lives in Seattle , and my younger son, a current PCC student, chose 5-minute showers. Maybe next year I can get my husband on the team, too. He already commutes to work by bike over 100 days a year, but I'm sure we can find a good task for him. Hmmm.. maybe I can get us to work together on de-cluttering our home. Thank you EcoChallenge and all those involved for making this world a better place.
