      I tempted you with a chicken tender today, but you stood strong in your vegetarianism. I'm proud.

    Yesterday I tried the Garden burger patty and I didn't know whether I was going to like it, but I ended up enjoying it !

    Went to the arboretum for the first time today, great trails and seem fun for hide and seek. There were some large hills that also looked great for sledding. Would definitely go again.

    I have been a vegetarian since October 7th, and today is my 2 week mark! It hasn't been hard at all, and I think I'll stick with it.

    I always wash my clothes in cold water, which saves a lot of energy!

    The hard part about being vegetarian for me is choosing what to replace with meat. I personally avoid anything vegetarian and I am counting down the days until I can, but today I tried the roasted vegetarian lasagna and it wasn't that bad. #babysteps

      It's interesting, because people first going vegetarian spend a lot of time looking for meat substitutes. I highly recommend Field Roast brand to give you the heartiness of meat without pretending too much to taste like meat. That said, if you stick it out there will be a time when you stop looking for substitutes, because meat just won't seem like food anymore. Baby steps indeed. Let me know if you want to grab lunch at Field of Greens sometime, and I can make some recommendations. So great that you're making this sacrifice for the EcoChallenge! Way to go!

    As a student of Architecture and Urban Planning, I have a good understanding of sustainability on a large scale involving green infrastructure and design. I currently am a Sustainable Intern for a Sustainability Living-Learning Community and hopefully this will educate me on small scale community sustainable practices.
