    Even though PFJ is over it's still important to reduce our waste!

    The EcoChallenge initiative presented me with a tangible opportunity to change my behaviours with regards to the day-to-day use of certain materials and in doing so, bring awareness to others around me so that they too could become involved.  I have also learned that there are opportunities to advocate to larger entities (restaurants, stores...

    It has been surprisingly simple to make lifestyle changes which lead to the reduction in the use of disposable plastics.  This challenge has brought the focus to the fore of my attention and I am confident that this will now continue as a regular part of my lifestyle.

    I think doing an audit of all of your daily products would give you a good idea of how much waste you make. I realize that I have a lot of beauty products that at the end of their life will have to be recycled or thrown in the garbage. I want to challenge myself to buying less beauty products and just focus on the basics

    I like the idea of turning my old clothes into something new. For years I have been donating my clothes when I am done with them but I have been hearing about some places either shipping off clothes internationally or putting them in landfill as there is more supply than demand.
