The final day ......  its it's been an awesome challenge for me. I've learned a lot and added a few more sustainable habit to my repertoire from the 2018 Plastic Free Challenge. But, today is my 46th birthday and I digressed a bit from my stated challenges; taking a longer than 5 minute shower and eating non Organic foods. Don't not fear, I...

Through this challenge I am constantly monitoring all potential toxic items which I might buy and bring home. Home cleaning products is a great beginning. Now its onto other items as well.

Fantastically  ..... 21 days and several "new"/"revisited" challenges have become a habit for the ages.

The food items are basics to most of my meals; brown rice, sweet potatoes, beans and greens for 1/2 the week. So far, its working. This method also eliminates making too much food - I am also not a fan of leftovers.

Still going  strong 🤗  wants vs needs challenge is possibly the most difficult among all of mine. It's not the material items as much as the food items. I have gradually become better at menu planning, taking a list to the store and only buying what is needed for the weekly, planned, meals. 😊🍁

Isn't it odd that Produce at the farmers market isn't identified as "normal" or "organic"? Some fresh produce at the grocery store might be designated "organic" but its mostly the packaged and canned goods. Why?
