My participation in the Ecochallenge has been extremely positive for me, but also for a lot of people around me (family, colleagues, friends) as I've transmited my learnings to them. I've learnt about plastics and how to reduce waste (using a cup now for my daily orange juice at the office), I've learnt new recipes without meat, my children are...

The most negative impact on the planet comes from cows, due to the very high CO2 emission, the high consumption of water and  the deforestation to have big enough spaces to raise them.
