It was fun!  I hope I can keep up walking everyday and eating less.  :-)

Straws - do not use them at restaurantsPlastic bags - reusable bags

Through the challenge, I'm walking more and eating less!

I like being able to bike to friend's houses and restaurants so that I can get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. I would like to feel safer on the streets and have more alternatives to sharing roads with cars (like taking a path thru the park or having dedicated bike trails / lanes)

Better walking infrastructure can reduce the need for cars and also help create scenic areas that more people can stop to enjoy instead of worrying about parking and accessibility. 

Besides preserving the unique wildlife that lives there, it has benefits for us too. Wetlands can help control flooding and act as a carbon sink.
