    My access to transportation has definitely shifted throughout my life. In my younger years, I primarily got around (to school or friend's houses or downtown) by walking through my small town. My family drove to get around the state, because there is no public transportation through Vermont. When I moved to the Midwest and got my own license,...

    I learned that eating a waste-free, unprocessed diet is very, very difficult.  It is also very time consuming.  This is the problem, so much of fast-pace in this life is aided by time-saving devices.  But those devices and technologies have significant impact on our environment, and not for the better.  Convenience is the major culprit.  The...

    My experiences in eating meals have differed greatly when practicing mindfulness. I have oddly enough felt more full when I eat without technological distractions. I also take the time to appreciate my food and where it is coming from. There have even been some moments when I am eating something quite unhealthy and I will feel more guilty...

    I have been having trouble talking to at least 1 friend each day avout transportation. My friends I talk to every day are tired of hearing about it, but I am determined!

    Throughout this challenge I've realized how hard it is sometimes to talk to other people about making changes in their life. More specifically it's hard for me to suggest to someone making a change without seeming judgmental. I feel like the best thing I can do is have conversations without judgement and rather lead by example for those around...

    I'm so thrilled that I got to be a part of this challenge.  I've loved being surrounded by this supportive community that I haven't quite seen exist anywhere else on the internet world.  Here is to the future, may we continue to be stewards of the land.

    Food sovereignty is at the heart of today's agricultural and economical intersection.  It is no secret that food deserts exist and plague great numbers of people.  We stand at a unique agrarian position in today's age.  Everybody should have the right  to a healthy diet that was produced in a sustainable way.  I think that we are recognizing...

    Spending more time outdoors in new areas around the city has shown me that there is beautiful nature in cities it just takes some searching to find. Hanging out around Lincoln Park's North Pond I felt detached from the normal aspects of the city. Even though there are skyscrapers in the background, the fall leaves and reflections on the pond...

    It feels good to not collect as much paper waste, and I had been meaning to go paperless with bills for a while. To reduce my paper waste even further I have been trying to take notes on both sides of paper in my school notebooks, and take notes electronically when possible. I wish teachers didn't hand out as many papers since they are...

    The most prominent water concern in our area would most likely be pollution. In our region we are lucky to not have to worry much about water access, security, drought, or flooding like people in other areas do. There are however issues in Chicago with water pollution. Lake Michigan and the Chicago river were long used as dumping grounds for...
