Green Jelly Beans

I feel strongly about green spaces, keeping waterways clean, and the animals that also share the earth with us. I want to do what I can to protect nature so my kids can enjoy it and subsequent generations also get to enjoy it.

This year's earth month ecochallenge has helped me to develop some stretch goals that I didn't know if I would complete, but as I see my progress in other areas, it's made me make those stretch goals a higher priority. I love seeing how each action adds up to something meaningful and impactful!

This months eco challenge has made me recognize how small changes in ones lifestyle can make a large difference. I have begun trying to reduce the amount of plastic bottles in my household by refilling glass containers at bulk stores for spices and oils, and using soda machines to eliminate purchasing flavored drinks.

This month's ecochallenge has made me realize the large impact that small changes can make. I switched to reusable sandwich bags and just seeing how that number adds up each day has made me think about other ways I can reduce my plastic waste.
