Staying at the beach for the holiday weekend and watching the amount of waste makes you feel an “ick” but as manners, you really can’t tell a stranger to recycle their beer cans in a pool or leave them on the beach. Having a recycling can next to the trash maybe a good start!

Happy Friday all! I can't believe there's less than two weeks left of the challenge. I can already feel some of my new habits forming and really hope to cement them over the remainder of the month.

Happy Aloha Friday Everyone! I hope you are enjoying the Ecochallenge. The Ecochallenge always seems to make you notice nature more and even in your own backyard. :)

I am learning that I enjoy my outdoor walks the most, because they give me an opportunity to practice mindfulness (focusing on all the sounds I hear and wildlife I see). I feel much less stressed after these particular walks than after other exercise, like using my elliptical machine.

I buy a lot of local produce, and pollinators directly affect the yield of these small local farms. Fortunately, I live in an area where most urban houses have pollinator gardens instead of lawns, and plan on doing the same thing once I switch from renting to owning next year. This year, I plan on growing some bee-beloved flowers in flowerpots...

The sheer number of chemicals... when so many more simple alternatives are easy to make

It's been a struggle to keep getting my 30 daily minutes of exercise in while I'm sick, but this eco-task has kept me on the ball. Need those points hahaha -- thank goodness for youtube routines you can just follow along mindlessly

Forgot to include the pic!

Sometimes I yearn for wide open spaces! I am lucky to have friends in Cody, Wyoming and they send updates on my favorite horse. I have been horse crazy since I was a kid and use to show. However, just getting out on a trail I always noticed everything about Nature. 💛🐴

Pack out all trash to keep nature clean, preventing pollution and protecting wildlife for others.
