    This was the hardest eco challenge for me thus far, in part because of heavy workload the past few weeks. A reminder of how difficult it can be to maintain new sustainable actions that haven't yet become habit when balancing other life events....yet still so important.

    Learning about earth ships today was very cool. I'm most curious about how earth ship practices could be used to retrofit and add on to existing infrastructure.

    By slowing down and taking a look at my surroundings I reflect more on ways to make the area safer and help my neighbors.  I have also begun to collect trash on my neighborhood walks to beautify the area (and increase safety)

    I have also been attempting to go vegan and keto for all three meals a day in an effort to eat cleaner and lessen my overall footprint on the environment. It's a lot easier than I thought it would be, and I feel amazing!!
