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.

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
Waste

Reducing your paper mail can reduce mental clutter as well as physical waste -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?

reducing paper makes me feel like i'm saving trees, which makes me think i'm going to be breathing cleaner air.

My next step is to make an effort to purchase food consciously, stuff that isn't individually packaged, not taking plastic bags to fill up fruits and veggies, but rather bringing re-usable ones.

I found a local online shop where i can buy used kids clothing.
This shop also lets me bring my kids clothing once they outgrow them. So that i can pass them along.

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.:-(
