    Today may be the "final" day, but my habits won't stop.  I look forward to challenging myself as an ongoing stewardship activity.  Go Earth!

    Wow this has been a busy week.   It was surprisingly hard to convince restaurants to not put that plastic straw in my water.  Hopefully businesses will rethink the use of the plastic straw.   It is a small thing but it sure adds up.  With so many individuals participating in the plastic free challenge, I think we will see a positive result...

    It's amazing how little trash you produce when you start refusing plastic and find the alternatives. EVERYTHING has one, so excited to reduce the waste I create over my lifetime.

    Last day of challenge. Once I got into a routine, it went well. I feel this month I have changed more of my habits.

    I chose the minimialism documentary. It was interesting in terms of how often they would talk about the accumulation of stuff contributing to unhappiness. Some of it seemed a bit extreme but I liked the acceptance of tailoring it tonyour needs and lifestyle. The psychological analyzation of this idea of trying to fill voids by buying things was...

    Reflection Question:  Restaurants, for sure - especially walk up places like food trucks.  I think at a minimum, just asking if they would consider moving from single use disposable cutlery is a way to advocare. Business owners (for the most part) listen to what their customers want.  If they hear it enough.....many businesses in Seward have...

    One more day to go.  It has been good to participate in the challenge this year. Keeps me mindful of my eco-footprint.
