    Well, I started out very enthusiastically and only signed up for a few items I thought I could manage and then my life went kind of sideways. I did do some reading and exploring re climate change and Vegan recipes and took opportunities where I was to pick up litter (plogging). I just didn't get to the website to sign in regularly.
    I do hope to be able to take part in the fall with the next eco challenge! Thanks for the opportunity to increase my knowledge and commitment to change with such a neat Challenge!

    My apologies to my team for a very poor participation in the challenge. Time and energy got away on me, although I thought about the challenge most days and wished I was doing more. I love the opportunity to read environmental and other podcasts that are available. thanks for the challenge.

    What did you watch, and what was the most important thing you learned in the documentaries you watched? How does what you learned connect to your understanding of climate change and Earth Month?

    I watched a couple of short videos on water sheds that were prepared for students. Neat to see education done in the community for kids and how well they are (simple , educational, and ideas for making a difference in their own communities). Very hopeful.

    Vegan black bean stuffed Sweet potatoes with sour cream and guacamole. This was delicious and satisfying. I love trying new dishes that are nutritious and tasty. Sorry I didn't get a photo.

    I'm looking forward to the challenge. I've intentionally chosen only a few actions so that I'm not overwhelmed, but it feels good to have some goals to work toward. I'm trying a vegan meal tonight with stepson TR here for a couple of days.
