As this is the last day of the challenge I feel happy with the efforts I made and want to continue to make to have a greater impact on benefiting the environment. While these challenges were kind of hard at first I feel like I adjusted pretty well and it makes me feel happy doing these things because I am making an effort and want to continue to do even more.

Tonight I carpooled with 2 of my friends to work tonight which I think we will be doing as often as possible for now on! Tonight I made skillet potatoes with red pepper and garlic cloves that I got from the farmer's market and am going to try to make it a habit to cook at least 2 vegan meals a day from now on.

Going into the challenge I thought it would be really hard to make unprocessed meals because while I often snack on fruits and vegetables, I don't actually cook that often but I'm planning to try several things in my vegan cookbook that turn out to not be so hard.

I went to the farmer's market this morning and got a lot of vegetables and fruits and enjoyed a taco salad and a smoothie which were both all made out of unprocessed ingredients. Mostly everything came in paper bags as well which I was excited about since I am trying hard to limit my plastic usage. I am also going to try to buy everything I can from farmer's markets now on!

The past week I have begun carpooling with a coworker to work, bought a hydro flask to reduce my plastic water bottle usage, have taken my dog out in nature every day, and although I am already vegetarian my meals have been mostly vegan every day. I am going to the farmer's market tomorrow to get foods and ingredients that aren't processed to prepare my meals for the next week.
