    While our event is scheduled next week on Earth Day 4/22. I'll be participating at a sponsored U.S. Bank event, and we will be cleaning up at Adopt-a-Hwy event. I also cleaned up several drains along my way to the park. Had a playdate with a couple others from daycare over the weekend and to my surprise the girls (3 & 4 yr olds) kept bringing me plastic pieces from the very very large open park (the park could really use some native plants...perhaps I'll toss some seed bombs next time i'm there). I ended up collecting 15 bottle caps...where are all the bottles to those caps...pretty neat to see how fast the toddlers picked up on what i was doing without saying a word to them.

    Consider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What changes did you make to improve your sleep, and how did they affect your day?

    What native species did you learn about in your area, and how do they contribute to your local ecosystem or community? How might your community change if these native species disappeared?

    How did changing your dishwashing habits make you more mindful of water use? What other small changes can you make to conserve water in your household?

    I use Norwex products to clean. Norwex only need to use water to clean no chemicals needed. After I'm done with water instead of pouring down the drain. Use it water plants.

    Why Ecochallenge? We only have ONE planet. Why ruin it? As someone who believes in leaving "anything" better than when YOU came, it only makes sense to be responsible and do YOUR part to clean up after yourselves, pick up trash, recycle, conserve where you can, and educate others where you can.
