The Sustainable Apparel Coalition’s vision and purpose are based on a set of shared beliefs that:
The environmental and social challenges around the global apparel supply system affect the entire industry.
These challenges reflect systemic issues which no individual company can solve on their own.
Pre-competitive collaboration can accelerate improvement in environmental and social performance for the industry as a whole and reduce cost for individual companies.  This collaboration enables individual companies to focus more resources on product and process innovation.  Credible, practical, and universal standards and tools for defining and measuring environmental and social performance support the individual interests of all stakeholders.

This was the most effective and rewarding EcoChallenge I have personally ever been a part of!   It was a nice bit of added motivation to keep improving on the new place I moved into last month.  Looking forward to keeping this momentum going as we continue to make improvements to this place! 

I found the actions I selected to be more difficult than I expected. But even if I didn't accomplish them every day, the biggest take away was that I am thinking about my impact and thinking of ways to reduce my impact moving forward.

Ricky and I have replaced our window screens and are enjoying the natural breeze to cool down the upper story of our house this sunny afternoon!  Up next is to replace these old, warped blinds!

I finally got down to a five minute shower! It made me seriously think about the amount of time and water I waste. It's tough to get down to that fast, I had to be super efficient with time. But it worked! 

Trying my best to get an extra 30-45 minutes of sleep, which is helping better my overall mood and focus each day.

Hello Blue Team! You're doing great!

Changed out some lightbulbs to be LED's this weekend!
