April 30 at 7:48 AMPlastic is my main source of waste although I've lowered it substantially. It was a GREAT exercise and I plan to continue to do again to see how I'm progressing. It means less times to the trash can! I also have noticed that when I take steps, others notice even if I don't say anything. I am a difference and You too make a difference.

April 30 at 7:43 AMWell! Sometimes it takes a bit to remember to bring a reusable water bottle or bag, BUT I've GOT it now! It's a strange concept to some because they think - I can recycle that BUT the best to not to use in the 1st place.

April 30 at 7:23 AMDid an energy audit at home and learned that there are easy, inexpensive ways to save energy. In some ways it's by using mindfulness that I become aware of where I'm using the energy. The websites through "Learn More" where a great resource.

April 30 at 7:18 AMThis is it, the last day of the challenge and although other days I've gotten close, I haven't been able to do a Zero Waste Day! Today is the day! I compost most "waste", it's the plastic I can't get around! I was excited to find a shipping store that takes boxes and packing materials. I don't have lots but I neighbor gets a few from...

April 30 at 7:05 AMWhen I am eating mindfully, I am fully immersed with the food that I am taking into my body. I am thankful and then more aware of what "went into" the meal. I will not waste, I will be grateful and therefore honor that which gave to me. I am a vegan, one, of many reasons is becoming mindful when eating.

April 25 at 7:27 AMI discovered new nature trails outside of Madison, and grounded myself by walking barefoot, as well as practicing Tai Chi in barefeet. Also enjoyed identifying new birds I have never noticed before.
