    Did some cooking and made sure to compost all my food scraps, as well from the dishes I had to do after. Great way to end the ecochallenge strong, hopefully I can maintain these habits for the long run!

    I got fast food a little too much these past couple of days, but at least I was skipping the straw! (And the plastic lid too!)

    Went on a run today and brought myself a reusable water bottle that I filled twice. Two more plastic bottles down!

    I did a lot of dishes this morning and took a solid portion of time to separate garbage out from any compost as well as recycling. Not the most fun thing, but everything takes some sacrifice!

    I got food today (and yesterday) and told the cashier "NO STRAW PLEASE!" Look at me go, one piece of plastic at a time!

    Today, I'm going to bring a reusable water bottle to work instead of buying a couple of beverages in plastic bottles from the convenience store before my shift.

    Switched my electric to the renewable energy option. It was so cheap too! I'm surprised I never heard about it till I looked through the ecochallenges. More people should sign up for it!
