This challenge has helped me focus on more meatless meals and explore some energy and transport operations that I'd been meaning to look into. Always so much more to do, and I'll continue my efforts!

Disappointed to learn that it's not feasible for us to have a micro wind turbine on our property - we're on the side of a hill with lots of trees and some houses around us, which means too much turbulence. There goes my birthday wish! But at least Drawdown has excellent resources explaining it, which made my research easy.

How's everyone's challenge going? I forgot to check in for a few days but kept up my one or two meatless meals a day... I also bought a flight which I feel guilty about and don't think carbon offsets are really a good enough solution, they're just a "feel-better" measure... And I researched electric vehicles - how I wish there were station wagon models available!

Yay I've made a start on my #Drawdown Ecochallenge! So many great actions to choose from, but I'm keeping mine achievable and will try to ramp it up a little each day or week so that I build in a couple of better habits or lifestyle improvements :)
