About points. For me keeping score is just a way of watching myself.  It is fun to do something that causes me to keep score.  Me and the Ecosystem is what it is all about.  If I can do it well, all I can do is hope others can do also.  This has been fun.

So excited!  Sun and no rain today.  Changed sheets on my bed and dried them outside.  HOORAY ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Had a small bit of cooked Italian sausage crumbles in the freezer.  Paired them garlic and Kale.  Covered with a tight lid, cooked on low (so it steamed in its own liquid.  A little pepper.  WOW, was it ever good.  

Missed yesterday. All day long someone or another came by  . . . . . Made me so fatigued AND, I forgot the eco challenge.  Will make it up the next two days, not for the challenge, but for me.

Going great!  

Hi team - If you joined after the official start date, like I did, remember to go back and claim points for completed actions retroactively!

Meal planning makes the entire week so much easier and adding in  non-processed food makes me feel even better!

So far, so great! I'm really focused on purchasing only my 'needs' instead of my wants. I've been thinking about this a lot in the last year; the resources it takes to extract/manufacture/transport/market/pick out/store/maintain "stuff". Finally, these two weeks are here and I can feel entirely empowered to give this a genuine shot. I aim to prove to myself how this simple shift in perspective can improve my budget and my negative impact on Earth. I am looking forward to hearing more of West Linn stories and hope everyone continues to share their progress!

Just joined the West Linn Community 2-week challenge.

We've been challenged by Lake Oswego...let's see what we can do to win and help the planet!
