    The last day! I am excited to continue the ecochallenge outside of class. Maybe I will even try to make a team with my family so we can compete against each other for fun!

    As we are wrapping up this ecochallenge, I have learned that as a busy person, it is a little bit harder for me to fully embrace challenges. I think that maybe when life calms down, I will be able to fully focus on reducing my environmental impact.

    I have a nasty cold, which is making it difficult to do the ecochallenges, or even be eco-friendly at all! My fever is gone, so that is good. I think I am on the road to recovery.

    We got a new dishwasher, which means I can save water when cleaning! This one is more environmentally friendly and energy efficient than the old one.

    I want to work on decluttering more. I have so many books,  most of which I read only once a year. Even though I do not technically use them frequently, they still hold value to me! I will have to work on being less materialistic. :)

    I have been struggling a bit with exercising daily! With school and work, I have found it difficult to incorporating working out into my schedule. Hopefully after college application season is over, I will have more time.

    I have been buying a lot more clothes secondhand recently because it is so much better for the environment, and it's amazing how much money you can save!

    How can you prevent yourself from accumulating more unnecessary things in the future?

    Taking care of the things you already have! When you keep your belongings in good condition, there is no need to keep replacing them.

    I do not think this is a part of the Ecochallenge, but to save more energy when doing laundry, I have been hanging up my wet clothes and letting them air dry. This also adds to the amount of time the clothes will stay in good condition, as washing and drying machines degrade fabric quicker over time.
