I have been trying to reduce single use plastics through out our home. Utilizing shampoo and conditioner bars, dishwasher tablets, deodorant refills in paper containers, reusable paper towels / napkins and lunch bags. It's amazing how little steps add up.

Working my way to a meatless diet. My family is learning as well. We often have a veggie only dinner, and the kids have really enjoyed all the new flavors. The impact on our selves and the planet are too high - we need to change this locally and globally. 

It's probably not "fair," but I've been walking and hiking every day for a week about 10 miles a day.  EcoChallenge caps the time you can log at 180 minutes....that's ok because I'm moving more to move the spirit than as a form of transportation.

I didn't know eggs were dated from the day they are packed....Jan 1 would be 001 and so forth.  So you can figure out how long ago they were actually packed.  Cool!

I found some reusable silicone pouches that help me eliminate the plastic bags I use to use.  They seem easy to clean and haven't accumulated any smells... but I haven't put an onion in them yet.  That will be the true test, right? I also got the reusable lids which seem to fit every bowl easily.  You can find them here: ...

Vegetable bags - I could replace it with reusable produce bags.  

I will be avoiding something going to waste and extend its life. 

I have been a vegetarian all my life and find it to be a great lifestyle choice. 

The bike path and walking path along the lake could be separated better. My mood is refreshed after the walk. 

When you eat in moderation with smaller portions you are less likely to overeat which will improve your health.
