Yesterday I implemented a new bin in our OR breakroom for plastics. I will be in charge of taking plastics to the recycling location.

I love the bulk section at grocery stores! Not only can I reuse containers, but I can control the amount I purchase. I get flour, herbs, spices, seeds and nuts in this section. It helps me control costs too!

Here is one of my favorite quotes I would like to share with you all on this Friday.

"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you." — Jane Goodall

Started using these laundry sheets this month and I really like them, so I gifted my daughter 2 boxes.

The ecochallenge seemed like a good time to encourage a reduction in the use of these little plastic bottles at every baby's bedside.

To be more eco-friendly, focus on the "3 Rs"—Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle—by limiting single-use plastics, buying secondhand, and composting. Reduce your carbon footprint by eating less meat, saving energy with LED bulbs, unplugging electronics, and using public transit or biking. These daily actions significantly reduce waste and energy consumption.

Good morning my fellow echochallenge friends! How is everyone doing today? I witnessed something that I wanted to share with you all. Someone at my local park cut down branches on trees at the local park which I think demonstrates good moral and values. I am a huge fan of trees in fact I live in Tremont ( fun fact in my town we encourage the residents to plant more trees and to avoid cutting down trees if possible ). Does anyone else know of any tree planetariums to visit?

I joined the Earth Month Ecochallenge to challenge myself to be more aware of the ecosystems around me. I take so much for granted that sometimes we forget how blessed we really are to be where we currently are! I am looking for any recommendations of places to visit (Arboretums, etc ) Please reply if you have any! Thanks!
