Wanted something to eat, so where better to check than Too Good to Go? I don't spend high $$$$$ and I get food that needs an extra day. (Got ~15$ worth of pastries for 5$!)

Today is unfortunately the last day of ecochallenge. But instead of closing on a negative note, I think it is good to close on a positive note. As such, instead of looking back and saying "Oh I wish I had done more during the ecochallenge", I am sharing my own mentality that the ecochallenge is just the start of a new chapter for many of us. It will improve our future, and has already shaped our past! As Seneca states: "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end". So instead of reflecting on every action this ecochallenge has helped me accomplish, I would prefer to ask myself and the feed this question: which of these daily actions can become lifelong journeys? Whether just turning off the lights when we don't need them or using less water, every small action increases awareness. Awareness is the start of your journey, and it's how we got here. And it's also how we will depart here. Knowing that our awareness helped reshape the community. Knowing that one day, maybe our children will say "hey remember that ecochallenge you did? Can we try one?" And maybe, just maybe our world could actually improve. One small step at a time.

I know tomorrow is officially our last day for the challenge, but I think I will sadly have to do my last posting today :( I will be coming home too late to contribute anything tomorrow. I want to congratulate my team for all their efforts in making significant changes, by committing to their actions! It was wonderful following you through the month of April and I became inspired by your posts of what you learned. Thank you for putting our team in a top spot :) For my part (as I do every year), I will continue to choose actions that make a difference. Next year I will join again with new habits, to add to the ones I am already doing. Best!

Today, I also used my hammock. Found a new favorite spot at a park near campus!! Was able to get my university application sorted out and should expect an answer within this week!! The weather is a bit on the chilly side, but not too bad!

I can't believe we are coming to the end of the month already! The year is going too fast, and yet---I just want the nice weather to start ...

What are you grateful in nature?

Today, I went for a walk during my 3 hour break. I set up my hammock under some trees. After all, the temperature was very nice! I finished up some work, and then later I also did a tarot reading and cleansed my inner self. You don't have to believe in it for it to be true. But one thing that IS true is this sunset I caught on my way home ☺️

Currently attending the Intercollegiate Eco-Expo, hosted at Dawson College! Many different guest speakers and booths from Cégeps and Universities all across Québec and Montréal have booths here. It reminds me that every sign of awareness makes the best medicine for our planet Earth.

Also met an old friend here that had distanced herself from me, it was very fun!
