    Some of these challenges are easier than others.  The elimination of refined sugars is a tough one, but I'm working through it!!!

    Waste
    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

    I always have reusable bags in my car and backpack.  I learned to take a reusable with me when I travel, you never know when you'll need one!

    Food
    Michael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this idea?

    I'd rather pay the farmer.  So far so good, gone out of my way to eat more farmer's markets products.  This food is delicious, all natural, tasty and earthy!

    This project is complete!  I replaced 10 windows in my home with new, energy efficient windows.  This will significantly help with my home's heating/cooling conservation!
