When I was about to get a bamboo brush, I was offered two options: a bamboo brush made in and imported from China, and a wooden brush made in and imported from Switzerland.  I opted for the wooden one that had a shorter shipping route... do you think that was the right choice? 

The challenge to pick up litter was particularly interesting as it made me aware of the amount of litter that’s lying on the floor.  I didn’t manage to pick up one piece each day, but on some days I picked up several pieces.  This challenge showed me how effective it is to make yourself aware of an issue.  I hope to continue doing this. 

It's really interesting to see how putting a focus on this changes my actions. A colleague asked me to bring her some soil so she could pot a small plant, since I have a lot of soil at home. Before this challenge I would have brought it in a ziploc plastic bag, but I was trying to find an alternative and ended up putting it in a salad bowl. :) 

I will try to advocate by giving such kinds of gifts to them, i.e. nice paper packed soaps from lush, like I buy for myself.
