I think my challenge is going pretty well, although it is more challenging than I thought it would be. It is such a small habit that is kind of hard to break, of not turning off my lights when I leave my dorm. Especially my desk lamp or light because it's across the room from the door.

This is going well, it is more challenging than I had imagined. I have enjoyed this so far because it is a way to hold me accountable to exercise, and get outside.

Listening to a nature podcast for a few minutes in my day has been a relaxing and comforting way to learn more about the environment. So far it’s going well and I’m noticing more things about the local wildlife and feeling connected with nature.

I have been spending more time outside. I have found interesting that you miss a lot of things like sound and how animals interact with the environment when you don't pay attention such as being on your phone.

I am planning my meals by buying ingredients like chicken and rice, or bread and sandwich meat, so I can make my own meals in my room and save resources.
