My Eco challenge is to drive less in general but especially unnecessary places. I think it is going well. I have not drove many unnecessary places and I have stopped myself from driving to an unnecessary place. For example, I needed to go to Walgreens to pick up a medication and I was going to drive but then I stopped and thought about how much unnecessary gas I am wasting when I could just walk there. So, I walked their saving money and emitting less pollution into the air. I am learning that taking a little more time out of my day to walk somewhere opposed to driving somewhere will not only benefit me but also our environment even if I don't see changes right away.
