November 10 at 10:30 PMThe largest body of water nearby would be the Fraser River! However, I am not sure if this would be the same water that my drain flows into. I would love to find out more about this!
-
November 10 at 10:23 PMI definitely feel more motivated to pay attention to other water sources in my household that may be leaky or not as efficient and to be more mindful of the amount of water that I am using (showers, dishes, laundry).
-
November 10 at 10:17 PMI live near areas in the lower mainland that are prone to flooding. Many of my friends had to evacuate during the floods and this was/has been a major water concern in our area. The other day, our drain was full of leaves and the water had rose to a concerning height as the rain was very heavy. This reminds me to be mindful about the area that...

November 10 at 6:58 PMThe ecochallenge has helped develop a stronger sense of community through sharing connections and comments in the discussion posts! I have enjoyed reading everyone’s reflections and I appreciate all of the encouraging comments :)
-
November 10 at 12:35 PMYesterday I donated some clothes to MCC! I also went thrift shopping and bought some new clothes! I try to donate and thrift clothes as often as I can!
-
November 10 at 12:32 PMThe higher income in richer countries may be an indicator of their higher meat consumption. The production and distribution of meat can be harmful to the planet through the release of greenhouse gases which contributes to global warming and pollution in the environment.

November 10 at 12:24 PMSometimes when I see or hear the word “creativity” I think of doing more / putting in extra effort. However, simplicity can help form creativity into something that may be easier to approach. For example, if we clear distractions, focus on one thing at a time, and simplify directions we may be able to complete tasks more efficiently!
-
November 9 at 10:13 PMI convinced my very carnivorous brother that vegan "chicken" strips taste better! He doesn't even want normal ones anymore :D I find them faster to cook, better seasoned, and crispier than real frozen chicken strips
-
November 9 at 9:49 PMI'm about a 5-10 minute drive from places that recycle flexible plastics, glass, metals, styrofoam, bottles, appliances (small & large), paint, electronics and more. We accumulate our recyclables to minimize the amounts of trips made. This close proximity certainly makes it easier to recycle as much as we can without having to go a great...
-
November 9 at 8:54 PMI often get headaches or feel tired after looking at screens for long periods of time. In implementing this challenge, I felt a lot more refreshed as I encouraged myself to go on a walk or organize instead of staying on my laptop! It was easy to find activities and I overall felt more motivated!
