From participating in this challenge, I learned how difficult it is to make small changes. The effort to participate daily was made so easy by the Ecochallenge scaffolding, yet was still difficult to squeeze some time from my already full schedule.

Since starting this challenge I have made the change of planning ahead of time what I will make for my families meals through the week, and really made me family happy.
