    Hi team! Keep working hard, this week I was on my feet a lot spending time outside which allowed me to be off my phone and present in the real world. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend as well.

    Ecochallenge is still going well! It is second nature to me now to just do our tasks instead of thinking about it each day.
