    It's been a rough finish to the eco-challenge with my daughter and I both being sick, but I've enjoyed the past few weeks and just trying to be more conscious of daily actions that really can make a bigger impact.

    I am able to smile, wave and interact with people in my neighbourhood when walking. I’m often stopping at the end of a driveway to chat with a close neighbour! I love that about where I live.
