    Remembering to work on my action items was not easy, at least not with the things that I did not do so often, as spending minutes outdoors. However, small actions make a difference on a larger scale if done correctly, efficiently, and constantly. An action that I will continue doing even though the ecochallenge is done, is exercising, skipping the straw, and spending minutes being mindful.

    I wonder which of your actions for this challenge has been the most difficult to do every day. For me, it's definitely skipping the straw. I haven't figured out how to refuse the straw at restaurants without sounding rude.

    Due to the hot weather, I am drinking more water than usual, but I guess that's good, isn't it?

    Sundays are good days to disconnect from technology, go outside to enjoy the shining sun, and, most of all, spend time with our moms!

    It's nice to eat fruits early in the morning, it gives a feeling of freshness, plus a natural sugary flavor.

    We had no energy today at school, and sooner or later, I realized it made us socialize more than ever. We talked to each other like there were no barriers between us.

      Yes, you are right everyone just went to play and really get to know how does it looked like without energy.

    I brought a turtle to school today. It's for a project. Carrying it around with me the whole day and letting my friends pet it made me remember that to care for the environment, we also have to care for ourselves and our overall well-being.

    Today I reused a lot of supermarket bags to store some vegetables.

    Today I decided to cook outside the house, enjoying the weather while it was sunny. Honestly, it was TOO sunny, but nothing better than compensating it with a great meal.

    Today, I noticed that people are exercising more, spending more time with family or friends, and even taking morning walks. Surely this has something to do with the new tendency on social media about staying fit, however, it is good to see that at least people are looking for alternatives to entertain themselves rather than just grabbing electronic devices to kill time.
