It was fun!  I hope I can keep up walking everyday and eating less.  :-)

Straws - do not use them at restaurants Plastic bags - reusable bags

Through the challenge, I'm walking more and eating less!

I like being able to bike to friend's houses and restaurants so that I can get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. I would like to feel safer on the streets and have more alternatives to sharing roads with cars (like taking a path thru the park or having dedicated bike trails / lanes)

Better walking infrastructure can reduce the need for cars and also help create scenic areas that more people can stop to enjoy instead of worrying about parking and accessibility. 

Besides preserving the unique wildlife that lives there, it has benefits for us too. Wetlands can help control flooding and act as a carbon sink.

Convenience may be the #1 factor. Also safety when it comes to riding my bike. I would need warmer weather and a safer route to work to feel comfortable biking more.

I want clean air. Maybe eventually the cost of clean energy will be cheaper than dirty. If you factor in our health, I think it already is cheaper.

I am concerned that we will never be able to transition away from single-use plastics. Especially in medicine and research.

I want a cleaner world with a car that is fuel-efficient. However, I think I should use my current car until it dies. That way it doesn't end up in a landfill until it absolutely needs to be or we have the technology to recycle it.
