Deloitte Boston Team

I really enjoyed this year's ecochallenge! I often forgot to update my progress on a daily basis but I always find that this time serves as a bit of a reset, providing time and prompts to reflect

I've tried to make my own cleaning products in the past but admittedly did not have much luck. I've recently been using some packaging-free cleaning products instead that I've really enjoyed!

We had a great time at the Boston Green Team Earth Month Trivia event - learned a lot about local sustainability initatives!

I love meal planning & prepping! It definitely takes more time on the weekends, but I enjoy having a plan and sticking to it. Aside from the reduction of food waste, I've also noticed that it helps me limit my spending when grocery shopping.

The longer I spend outside, the more relaxed I am...especially after a long day at work. I love the winter, but I always forget how nice it is in Boston in the spring!!!

I don't know why, but it always takes some personal convincing for me to bike instead of taking the bus/driving somewhere although I do find that it consistently puts me in a better headspace. I find that I notice more around my community and it gives me time to mentally decompress.

I learned that on average, Americans dispose 13 water bottles per month! I always try to have my reusable water bottle on me, but I find this to be the most challenging when going to catered work lunches...although admittedly this is completely on me because I often forget.

When making my annual flower pots, I added some milkweed which is a local native boston plant and helps bees with their pollination. I havent seen any so far but am hoping that changes with the weather!

I was preparing for an international trip and did my best to avoid the last minute surge purchases that I often find myself falling into. Instead, I did my best to source my last minute "needs" from local friends and family

I volunteer at a local womens shelter in Boston every couple of weeks - it's always hard to make time for it, but I am always so happy I did when I go.
