This was the first day of my vacation, so I thought sticking to these goals would be hard, but each day I brought my own reusable bottle/glass to the restraints and bars with me to reduce my use of plastic!

When looking through the challenges I came across this one and thought back to the activity we did in class. I still hadn't deleted the apps from my phone so I decided to take a look at some of the items I commonly used. I found an alternative shampoo, Avalon Organics, that was much better than my current shampoo. I also started to use a home made lotion instead of a general brand from Walgreen's. 

This has been very hard for me because I feel like I have to think of everything I'm going to throw away very carefully. But as time goes on, I feel like this will become easier.

I spent some time last night meditating and listening to peaceful and relaxing music to try and regain my thoughts and release tension after having a rather stressful and frustrating day. I also decided to go exercise at the gym with my roommate to help cope with my frustration instead of watching tv. 

Today I went to Whitney and only took the food I needed. I did not waste any of my food and ate all of it.

I have really improved on my Eco impact by reducing my waste and choosing healthier activities. 

This challenge has really made me cautious of my water use!

Today, I went to the People's Food Coop and brought my own mason jar to use for the bulk foods!
