My eco-challenge is going great. For 10 minutes a day I meditated and thought hows my family doing. when I switched to cold water to clean my clothes is saved my family a lot of hot water, and instead of traveling by plane I traveled by car for 12 hours to get to my cousins wedding. Every day I head outside ride my bike or go on a nice walk with my sister. so my eco-challenge is going good for me.
