    Man, I had a lot of trouble staying off social media this challenge. I added it as a goal action but I had a lot of trouble with follow through.

    I live in a dorm so I hardly meet new people, so birds I see outside my window count?

    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    No. I would put it towards a rainy-day fund.

    I have been trying to live with a smaller eco footprint. I joined the challenge to see what I can do more, and also give myself a boost to continue.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    If I am to buy it from a coffee shop, I believe they don't let you use your own mug/thermos. So, I make my coffee at home and use my thermos. Meeting friends at a coffee shop makes it difficult to use my own mug.
