Brandywine Faculty

I started drinking my tea with a 1/2 tea spoon instead of 2. I felt awful before, but now used to it after 2 weeks.

I stil cook meals with meat for my family, however, I am mostly a vegetarian.  This week, I made 3 meatless meals for my family, and they were happy with the meals!  Pasta with roasted vegetables, eggplant parmesan and spaghetti with marinara sauce!  They didn't miss the sausage, meatballs and chicken parmesan.  I will try to keep this going...

When you buy clothing items that are mix-and-match friendly, you can create far more outfits than if you select one-of-a-kind items that you will want to wear less often.

My office is using reusable Keurig coffee filters, no more plastic waste!  Then we are saving the coffee grounds and using them as compost for the PSU Brandywine Sustainable garden.

Today, I used my last dental flosser (plastic) and went back to using regular dental floss.  Before this challenge, it didn't occur to me that a plastic dental flosser was bad for the environment.

This challenge is an excellent daily reminder to take care of our planet!

I made it a habit to walk to the park with my kids every weekend, and the gym twice a week.

I am freeing up more of my day-time to do my work-rather than using the night time for that.

Challenge is going well, keeping mindful of what I use and trying not to be wasteful.

I have to bring a bottle of cold water with me everywhere, so I am not tempted to buy a plastic bottle when I am out.
