    I also realized we can't add actions all the way back to the beginning of the challenge anymore! I biked or walked to the ferry every day, so there are some lost points there :) Good work to all who actively posted and logged their actions!

    I committed myself to eating vegetarian this month, motivated by the challenge. Between a trip to TX and the occasional lack of restraint, I didn't (or in TX, pretty much couldn't at a couple restaurants!) meet my goal every day. Still, I plan on carrying this forward and eating less meat or going pescatarian for a while!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Land Use Buy Bamboo
    Are bamboo alternatives readily available in your community? If not, what are other sustainable alternatives?

    There are some alternatives available in my community, though likely not enough. I recently added bamboo fencing to my yard instead of wood, as I originally intended. What other bamboo alternatives can we think of?
