    I think things are going well for the eco-challenge but I personally keep forgetting to update my feed!!!!

    The biggest single-use item I have been using during the pandemic has been takeout boxes. Some of them can be re-used but a lot of them need to be thrown away.

    I have no barrier to using reusable water bottles. My water bottle is emotional support for me.

    I know that eating meat affects our planet because of the amount of land, water, and resources that are needed to cultivate meat products. I think people in richer countries see eating meat as a status symbol but it is really just depleting resources.

    If you're in charge of allocating where your produce goes, you have a very dangerous grip over who gets the healthy amount of nutrients on a daily basis.

    I usually use plastic straws the most, I have recently purchased a metal straw that you can keep on your keys so that I can use that instead of a plastic one

    I try to take pride in using less; window replacements are expensive and produce a decent amount of waste, so switching to more sustainably-crafter options aligns with a less-waste-deposition.

    Well for one, you need water to survive but I thankfully really enjoy water so I always have my waterbottle with me :)

    I'd invest in more eco-friendly products, since they're more expensive than mainstream products.
