My ecochallenge is going well, the daily check ins have helped me exercise and be present more. I have also been extra determined to not use plastic straws since I made a commitment to reduce my contribution to plastic straw waste. The next area I want to improve is in having a longer and more consistent sleep schedule and also cut back more on...

I incorporate my friends into exercising with me. I say exercise but if the activity is something such as running, hiking, biking, or climbing, and it is something a person enjoys doing, then I don’t think it is viewed as ‘exercise’ and it instead seen as something they already enjoy and happens to also be good for them. But I have recently...

I focus on the experience of eating more rather than mindlessly chewing on something. When I eliminate distractions I am more present in what I am eating and how much.

My ecochallenge is going great! I’ve noticed that the act of returning to the challenges everyday has made me more mindful of myself and my relationship to the world around me. Even through something as simple as learning a new fact about food waste, or remembering a small commitment I made a week ago makes me more aware and environmentally...

I am enrolled in a community ecochallenge through my college class. I would’ve originally been enrolled into my professors group but unfortunately I was unable to. Fortunately I can join a community group and I have been able to work on my ecochallenge action items. I think the exercises are simple yet informative and the daily actions make me...

I sometimes use floss picks which have a lot of plastic for a one time use product. Instead I have been trying to use old fashioned floss string since you can get way more uses out of a roll of floss string rather than a bag of floss picks.

I really want to learn new things. I can read on age of war game

I chose the "skip the straw" eco-challenge. I'm already not super invested in always using them when I eat out. I do find them to be a largely unnecessary technology for already clean containers. And I'm also suspect of reusable ones, as I've read much about them being ripe pockets for bacteria and mold. Where I can, I opt to not use...

I chose the "5-minute showers" eco challenge, as it's something I've wanted to maintain for a long while now. While that is quite difficult to do for sessions that I'd like to wash my hair, for the everyday shower, I've found it very manageable. And truly preferable. Making it an automatic and efficient process saves me some often...

I often use Uber to get myself where to go, which is costly and not as mindful in regards to minimizing car transport. I chose the "walk instead" option in the eco challenge, which also encouraged me to seek closer options, as opposed to going to my usual stores far where from where I live. This touches on my grocery shopping,...
