Remsburg La Crosse Fall 2023

Going well, in the weeks continuing after starting the challenge, I have continued to meal plan and include it within my daily routine. it helps free up a lot of my time and keep me on a good track and mindset

My challenges have been going pretty well so far. Creating a weekly meal plan has significantly reduced the amount of food I throw away and has actually helped me save some money with my weekly grocery shopping. Also with the grocery shopping the reusable bag are really nice and are way bigger than the plastic bags at the store so I don't need...

This challenge has been easy and hard at the same time. I have been really conscious of the many straws I've been using. but sometimes it's hard when many places give you one when you do not ask. I have been eating less animal products which is something that I have been wanting to do for a while so this was a good way to get going on that!

Taking five minute showers has actually...

On days that I can't get outside due to working full time and school, I have been trying to at least open a window so I can get the fresh air and hear the sounds from outside. To be...

Describe briefly what you're doing, and something that others may find interesting or useful about your experience. I am working on the Energy "Turn it off" and the Waste "Use a reusable water bottle" challenges. I need to make sure I turn off all energy-using items when I'm not directly using them. I also have to be sure I...
