Sustainable sardines

I was able to continue building small sustainable habits today. I gave away a skateboard I no longer needed instead of throwing it away, brought my own drinks, and also took care of my health through exercise and meditation. I want to keep these habits even after the EcoChallenge ends, because I realized that small actions can lead to long-term...

I have also been more careful when cooking meals and grocery shopping by trying to use what I already have and avoid wasting food.

I have developed the habit of not buying bottled water anymore, and I try to reduce food waste by being careful with my meals every day. These small changes have made me more aware of how my daily choices affect the environment. I feel that building sustainable habits little by little can make a positive difference.

My campus EcoChallenge is going well so far. Today, I participated in a volunteer activity focused on recycling marine debris.
