Hey y'all!!! How's your challenge going??

It's been more difficult than I originally anticipated to complete some of the more time intensive challenges (hosting an event, reaching out to community partners, etc.). I had really high expectations to make some of these things happen but the end of semester has really caught up with me. I've been trying to find a balance and remember that every little action we take has a positive impact. Instead of criticizing my ability to complete larger actions, I'm trying to congratulate myself for making small lasting changes to my lifestyle :) every little bit counts!!!

Thanks for joining the team everyone!!! I'm so happy to share in this challenge with you all :)

It is so inspiring to think about the small changes we can make in our daily lives to reduce our impact on the environment. We might not be perfect every day, especially when life gets busy, but every effort counts and is a step in the right direction!!
