I learned that it is not very difficult to make an impact. I hardly missed the meat from my meals, and I think it's something I'd like to stick with. I also learned about alternative fuel sources I hadn't heard of before. It's inspiring to see how many people took part of the challenge.

I have been having great conversations with my peers at work about using energy efficient products such as environmentally friendly lightbulbs.

I joined this challenge because I wanted to make a difference, even though a single person might not produce change, a group of people like this team can eventually create and promote change. I chose the actions I did because I feel they applied best to me and I had a really good time practicing mindfulness and enjoying my food every night.

I honestly learned a lot about myself and the environment. I've always tried my best to be conscious and help out the environment because we only have one planet earth and if we don't hold ourselves accountable we might lose the diversity our environment contains. I also learned how to appreciate the food that gets on my plate because not everyone is fortunate enough to have a meal in front of them every night. I also tried my best to cook only the amount of food I would eat so I didn't end up wasting food, and if I did end up with leftovers, I packed it up in a container and ate it the next day. Overall, I really enjoyed this eco-challenge and it helped me learn a lot about myself and the environment around me that counts on us to stay healthy.
