JR's actions
Lifestyle
Natural Fibers
When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.
Family
Swap the Snacks
I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.
Food
Use Reusable Containers
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Use Reusable ContainersHow can you think outside the box (or bag!) when it comes to disposables?
JR Jackson 7/20/2019 8:59 PMUsing recyclable containers for my Lunch and snacks reduces the amount of trash and non-reusable items. It's a small thing and I feel I'm making a difference, even though it is small. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFamily Swap the SnacksHow does swapping out prepackaged snacks for fresh fruit or veggies benefit your family?
JR Jackson 7/17/2019 5:48 PMLess chemicals infused into fruits and vegetables when consuming fresh items, not packaged. I've elected to not freeze my Raspberries (home grown) and using plastic freezer bags to use later on. Just made raspberry fruit roll ups by using my Food Dehydrator and it turned out better than what I thought. -

JR Jackson 7/10/2019 10:39 PMI'm participating in this Eco Challenge to keep my self honest and pull off the blinders to see what I'm doing to protect the environment. The smallest things will have an impact over a period of time. Also, I like working together on a common goal on a Team.
