    This Ecochallenge was fun and beneficial.  I'm going to try to continue the actions I chose.

    When we got coffee to go a couple days ago, I remembered to bring in my reusable cup.  It was the first time, but won't be the last.  Hopefully, it will be the first of many.

      That's inspiring! Its a great feeling when you break new ground and move in the direction of creating a positive habit.

    My sister is part of the work group.  She was talking about it and the challenge sounded interesting.  We all need to focus more on the environment (in many definitions of the word) and when she said we could participate, I wanted to do it.

    I'd like to reflect more on gratitude for all the wonderful things in my life.

      It's been ages for me--actual meditation, anyway. That's on my to-do list for retirement. That list is getting longer!

    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    I have an old friend who I walk with most Sunday mornings.  There are other people I could also invite for different times, which would be fun, too.

    Bringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    I go to a coffee shop infrequently, but I want to remember to bring my own cup for the coffee.  I've been keeping some of the plastic produce bags the supermarkets use in my purse and have been remembering to use them instead of new ones.  Once those wear out I'll have to find better substitutes.  I did see something about cotton mesh ones.

      I saw some mesh produce bags that looked interesting. Can't remember where, though. If I come across them, I'll let you know. Welcome to the team!
