    I think it has to do with the NIMBY or "out of sight, out of mind" logic. We don't consciously think about what goes into our purchase, especially if we're shopping online. We hit the "checkout" button, and then wait for it to show up at our door, but we don't think about the in-between, or even the before and after.

    This action has been a difficult one for me to meet consistently, I go to bed too late and get up too early. What does help me go to sleep better though is turning off my screen at least 30 minutes before bedtime, dimming the lights, lowering the temperature in the bedroom and reading a good book!

    I've been composting for years and the change I've noticed is since my municipality has introduced weekly curbside compost collection, no food goes into the garbage. The food I used to throw out (meats and fish waste) can now go in the curbside compost bin. To avoid a stinky compost bin, we freeze the meat/fish waste in a paper bag and put it...

    Had a bit of a down few days but I’m back up and ready to do better.

    Over halfway through the challenge and I'm meeting most of my daily actions with the exception of getting enough sleep (only meeting this one on weekends 🫢) and decluttering my space (only once!).
