    My ecochallenge is going well - It would much better if the weather would clear up so more outdoors activities could take place.

    I was encouraged to participate by Elizabeth Ellman last year - this year I decided to participate due to all the good work I see Elizabeth accomplish and wanted to be part of it in addition gain more knowledge.

    I took a walk with my son. This is always a good time for us to catch up and enjoy the outdoors.

    Yesterday I assisted in decluttering some items at work - the office equipment was no longer needed so we donated the items to the new Goodwill located within the city. Since I feel this is my second home, it felt good to not see items piled in the hallway.

    How does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet? What fruits or vegetables did you try this week, and which was your favorite?

    Eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat benefits health and nutrition - Today I had a banana and raspberries.
