WPC Earth Care

What a month this has been for EcoChallenge. I'm so grateful to have been part of this years challenge. It was great to have so many choices learning new ways to help save our planet. But now the real work is ahead for everyone to continue challenging themselves, and to encourage others to join in saving our planet.

When will EcoChallenge become "routine?" I've wondered about that. There is still so much to be learned, yet posting each day has been fun. It has become my routine which will sustain me for a long, long time. Thanks, EcoChallenge.

This has been a very good month to do the EcoChallenge. It's a little bittersweet that this challenge is coming to a close in 2 days. Since many teammates have participated in different categories will give us an opportunity to discuss our various topics of interest during the rest of 2023.

It's truly amazing the EcoChallenge month of April is drawing to a close. I've been delighted to participate and see how others on the team are doing. It gives me hope that I'll continue doing the 5 minute shower and taking time to be outside away from the computer regularly. This is my feel-good moment.

It became quite warm outside today, but certainly not too warm as working in the yard was productive; and then out shopping for several hours. Fortunately we did get a bit of rain this evening, at least it cleaned off a layer of pollen which will give those who suffer from allergies a break!

Just 5 more days before this EcoChallenge comes to a close. Seeing that taking a 5 minute shower is doable has been a great teaching experience for me. And certainly something I will continue to do even without the EcoChallenge points!

The month of April is nearly over which also means the EcoChallenge month ends. It has been exciting to see my daily progress, although there have been a few hiccups along the way, and being able to read the posts from my teammates taking notice of their experience. This has been a lot of fun as well as educational. Thank you.

Inspite of last evenings ending, today is just another sunny day in paradise! Our Earth Day Sunday events this morning at church were fantastic. Members of the Earth Care Committee provided a whole lot of love with great information on caring for God's creation, and even gave away plants to anyone who wanted to take home to plant in their garden.

The day was adding final touches to displays for Earth Day Sunday, and the evening was to shower and go to bed early. However, last night I spent too many hours in the ER with a puncture laceration in my left arm that eventually needed 6 stitches.

Being part of EcoChallenge during April has been a marvelous experience, and several members of our church Earth Care Committee are also EcoChallenge teammates. Our committee is still gathering items to be on display for Earth Day Sunday on April 23 at church which is a big deal for us.
