April 30 at 1:47 PMIncreasing my awareness and knowledge make me feel a sense of empowerment; however, convincing elected officials to do or not do something seems very remote. I feel strong around controlling my own behavior (except giving up coffee), but I feel almost powerless in affecting the behavior of lawmakers. I figure, if it doesn't mean money in their...

April 30 at 1:43 PMI see them only occasionally. One fast food merchant, START, uses biodegradable containers and bamboo utensils. The utensils can even be placed in the dishwasher several times before they are no longer usable. I need to be more cognizant when shopping so I can employ more bamboo into my daily life.

April 30 at 8:26 AMI do think my diet choices fall within the guidelines for Texas. Fish and shellfish are healthful foods that provide a diet high in protein and low in saturated fat and contain nutrients that are important for proper growth and development. I have included more Fish and shrimp in our meals for dieting purposes.

April 30 at 8:20 AMIt was extremely difficult to change my diet! My husband and I was not on the same page in trying different types of food. I finally was able to get him to try more options during the week. On the weekend, he ate what he wanted and I ensured to include the items that I enjoyed that were healthier for me.

April 30 at 7:57 AMFirst off, Fruits and vegetables sold in stores are in transit up to 14 days sometimes. By then, some of the fruit or veggies are spoiled and lost. If we grow them locally, it will eliminate the transit time and reduce the waste caused.

April 30 at 6:04 AMIf people can use and access a transportation option flexibly, they will most likely use but some cities its not an option. Gas prices are a major predictor of whether commuters choose to drive or ride transit. I am glad ComeriCA offers ride share in some cities

April 30 at 5:50 AMI think this was one of thee best challenges yet for me with Ecochallenge. I think these are habits that will stick with me through to the next challenge.

April 29 at 10:09 PMGoogle "who represents me" and write your Congressman and Senators - support sustainable energy - and also support stopping subsidies for animal agribusiness and commercial fishing. It is so easy to be heard. BTW - TX is the leader of wind and solar energy production - supporting it means jobs and a strong economy!!

April 29 at 10:06 PMCommitting to a plant forward diet. The biggest lesson I learned this Earth Month was that one of the largest contributions we can make is to reduce the demand for the industrial animal production on land and commercial fishing at sea. I hope to live and eat much more sustainably going forward!
