    Throughout the past week, I have kept the ideas in the back of my head as a reminder to be conscious of them each day. I have made sure to turn off the water whenever I am brushing my teeth, and I have used no straws. I refill water bottles and avoid grabbing new ones on a daily basis. This challenge is going well and has made me more aware of actions I need to involve myself in, in order to make small changes for a better environment. I am surprised on how easy it is to make these changes, it doesn't require too much action, but it saves water, prevents pollution, and other factors that support a cleaner and healthier world.
