Sustainable Baddies

END OF THE ECOCHALLENGE :(

Core values: 1. get outside 2. be productive 3. stay motivated 4. keep an open mind 5. have your lazy day :) thinking about core values, these were the five that I think are important at keeping my mind and body happy and healthy. 

Especially being a different and new environment compared to my hometown, seeing the different scenery and getting my face out of phone I think is great for mental health. Fresh air and natural light is I think essential for human health that is able to provide clean and fresh oxygen straight to the brain.

I think a deep knowledge of surroundings is knowing the safe places within your town or campus. If you know a well-developed area, I'm sure there are plenty of activities to do as well routes that you can even take to get from one place to another. Sometimes it may be a longer route, but it gets your steps in and get walking for the day. I love...

I try to make a quick easy routine that I enjoy every morning and night. It includes washing my face, brushing my teeth, and putting on my night time or morning lotion. On top of that, I try to stay active and get myself to the gym to make sure my body is able to stay healthy and also look healthy.

I switched 4 lightbulbs in my house last week, and it feels great! I want to reduce my carbon emissions by hopefully getting a new fridge considering this one is quite old and not very energy efficient 

I fixed the leaky faucet in my apartment, now I am saving so much more water. I am going to also install a low flow shore head to increase my water efficiency. 

It makes me feel great that I reduced my paper quantity. All my bills come via email now, rather than mail. My next step is to use more reusable containers rather than cardboard boxes.

How is everyone's eco-challenge going?

OMG THIS ENDS TOMORROW!! i've loved focusing on the environment and knowing how much of an impact not only myself but everyone in the community, the state, the nation, THE WORLD puts on the environment and realizing the good and bad things that have developed overtime.
