Emerson - Clay Rd

I never realized how much waste there is in food packaging. from an outer plastic wrap, an inner plastic wrap along with the cardboard box. I am going to look into getting the laundry detergent sheets and see how well they work.

I realized that having hair down past my waste takes a lot of water to wash. While I grow my hair to donate, i will reduce the frequency of washing it to help save on water.

It doesn't seem like one water bottle would make much of a difference, but once you realize just how many you use in a week or a month just how much of an impact it makes. I am going to try much harder to use reusable bottles when on the move and glass at home. If a small bottle is my only choice, I will be sure to put it in recycle.

Since I am already a vegetarian, i don't contribute to carbon through meat. I have switched to plant based options to replace the higher carbon dairy items and I found they taste just as good and have many varieties to choose from so less chance of getting bored.

It was difficult at first to stick to the plan, it is hard to determine what you will be in the mood to eat or cook in advance. It got easier as the days went by.

I walked through a nearby park that I didn't have to drive to. The added steps made me feel better. I looked at the trees and birds and pray they will always be around.

I realized just how much waste a person can accumulate. I am going to try to buy products in recyclable containers whenever possible.

Looking forward to this year's challenge. #ProudVegetarian
