    The Eco challenge was challenging at first, but when you get into the routine of doing these things, it gets much easier. The most challenging action was the 5-minute shower, but since starting it, I have saved so much more time in my mornings. I have also been using a reusable cup more recently, which is much more environmentally safe, and I will probably keep sticking with this action even though the eco-challenge has ended

    I have been able to keep up with the 5-minute showers by timing myself through songs, and it has helped me by having more time to sleep in. I have been able to print double-sided paper for 2 different classes, which so far has saved 1 pound of paper. I think I am keeping up with the challenges well, although the 5-minute shower has been a little more difficult because I have a lot of steps in my shower routine.
