One Comerica Team

This is my last “blog” post for this year’s Ecochallenge. It was so nice engaging with you all! We visited Michigan’s state capital today, Lansing. It was a beautiful day! My son was impressed by the cleanliness of the roads and pathways between the House of Justice, Senate and House of Representatives 💚 I was impressed that he noticed that...

We did it! We completed this ecochallenge. I set my phone daily to remind me to log in. On Mondays I logged any challenges I did over the weekend. I made an effort to research and review all the information in the "Reflection" entries to give you a written reference and my view. I learn this time to just commit! Our lives would be so...

Hello Comerica Eco challenge team. It has been wonderful participating with all of you. I have worked on some things and learned new things from you who have shared your experiences. It is another beautiful day in SE Michigan today and a nice cool breeze and I took a walk on my morning break. I look forward to implementing some changes in my...

We have been conserving water for some time now. I would say the community needs to pay very close attention to summertime watering bans. I have witnessed several in the community that water lawns and landscaping during bans. I would also say the city needs to enforce sanctions when these breaches occur.

It feels nice to get your hands dirty while feeling the heat of the day shine on your back. I am thankful to have planted the garden at mom's so we can benefit from it all summer. We have tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, lettuces, cabbage, brussel sprouts, etc.

I love this challenge and look forward to it every year. It is also a reminder to do MORE throughout the year. Thank you!

It felt really good to pick up and clean up the community, it was really sad to see the things that winds up in our waterways.

Easy makes me really think about what I need to buy

I did not know that microplastics end up in the ocean and freshwater, in our seafood and water supply, and in us. The long-term effects on our health and the environment may not be fully understood but are most likely devastating. Along with all the other chemicals and biowaste, it's no wonder we have increasing cancer, autism and other...
