Remsburg La Crosse Spring 2021

This statement rings true for me, there are many reasons other than spiritual and emotional development for the natural world; for example,  exercise. The major implications of a culture that spends to much time inside is obesity from a sedentary lifestyle and a lost appreciation from a generation of the beauty and necessity of the natural...

I tried my best to shower as quick as possible this morning so that I am not using too much water. I managed to achieve this feat and I fell satisfied.

My ecochallenge is going very well so far, I have hiked every other day since starting this challenge and I have really enjoyed exploring the trails in Hixon Forest. I have never really gotten out to the trails until now and it has been really relaxing and nice to hike them. I also have picked up all of the trash I have seen along the trails,...

I will admit that I always take long showers. I feel like showering is a time to relax and separate from what is going on in your life. Taking long showers may feel nice but the issue is that I am wasting thousands of gallons of water. So for my ecochallenge I have made it a point to take short showers. I have cut out aspects such as listening...

I see a lot more trash and waste along the side of the streets. I do feel more better since I have time to think while I'm walking. I am more appreciative of the distance between places. Like the marsh between where I work and where I live.

My ecochellenges are going well! Both the challenges I am doing are from the Simplicity group. I sometimes feel like I need to be doing as much as I can all the time, so it is nice to reduce my screen time and eat mindfully. It has allowed for a little more peace in my day which ultimately leads to a more productive day. 

I'm aware that I use up a lot of water taking long showers, usually about 20-30 minutes, so I decided to put in effort to save as much water as possible. It has not been easy to save water much I wanted to make sure I'm properly cleaned after each shower. However, I will keep trying to save as much water as possible while keeping my hygiene in...

I think my eco challenge is going pretty well. I have found myself being more aware to shutting off lights and other technology when I'm not using it and have been using my refillable water more often as well.

Pretty good. I've been composting almost all my food. I also haven't used any plastic bags. I haven't really needed to use bags at all but I also haven't accumulated any plastic bags from the dining hall which is good.

My eco challenges have been going well so far overall! I haven't gone to clean up a bus stop yet, but I plan to do so this weekend when I have free time. Eating meals without being on my phone or computer has been a really nice reminder to put my phone away and focus on what's around me. I've occasionally completely forgotten to try and take a...
