Last day of the eco-challenge has arrived, its been a great 22 days! My favorite part was writing down 3 things I'm grateful for everyday. Today I am grateful for the eco challenge, for the sources we have to make our world more environmental friendly and for the company I work for who inspires everyone to live with no ceiling and get outside.

We are almost at the end of the eco challenge, I am grateful I was able to commit myself for these 22 days to help make our world a better place for you, for me and for our future. I am now singing the Michael Jackson song in my head as I type this. " Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race"

REFLECTION QUESTION
Energy

How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Celina Almeida-Baia 10/21/2021 4:12 AM
Electricity is generated from hydroelectricity where I live, supplied by Alectra Utilities. Natural gas releases carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide. Earth's atmosphere traps these gases, leading to air pollution and smog. Delivery of electricity can harm local wildlife. Birds may fly into power lines, resulting in electrocution.:-(

Turning off water while brushing teeth and taking shorter showers has been another way we have been saving water during the eco-challenge. Seeing my recent water bill was a big eye opener also lol!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?
Celina Almeida-Baia 10/13/2021 3:43 AM
I normally carry things out in my hands (if i can) or in the cart then I will just bag everything when I get to my car because I keep my reusable bags in there but will sometimes forget to bring them in to the store with me.
