    I was on my own. It was so depressing. How can we encourage adults to do better; I mean I have tried, I have seen others tried. I guess doing having events with rewards to encourage people to clean more, may help; start with schools, as well, as we can better influence kids who may influence their parents. I love this ecochallenge though, it was really inspirational.

    I will a bicycle lane to encourage more people to ride as it will be safe for them to…; I rather there be less driving in the main towns as it is small enough for walking and causes less tension between drivers since the roads are narrow. It is not necessary for so many cars to be on the road in the main towns; there should be a safe parking space on the outskirts. I already drive less so as to save gas and causes I have enough in my plate.

    I'm a vegetarian and I love trying new meat substitutes. The only problem is they usually are wrapped in frozen plastic bag or plastic wrapping, including tofu. I wonder if there is a way to make the same product at home without the amount of plastic that's used to package it? Or if there's another meat substitute that's packaged in eco friendly packaging?

    I tried using tofu mixed with vegetables and couscous and fresh seasonings.

      It was delicious but I still have to learn how to dry the tofu properly so it can be cooked better.

    I have already done this, as being chronically ill and unemployed, so dependent on my husband, has allowed us to analyze how to spend effectively.

    I can save water--gosh, I have been trying for a while but it is to stay focus and remember-- by closing the tap while I brush my teeth; I can use a cup of water to ensure I don't waste. I should have a designated cup just for that.
