    Reading more , seeing more  and contributing more to the cause. It is dreadful at what we are doing to the Earth we live in. Our convenience of having plastics has help us destroy it. ILM will be collecting plastic grocery bags again this year for plarners to make mats for the homeless.

      That is ok!  You can go back a few days and update your progress by clicking on the circles at the bottom of your dashboard screen.

    Going well...on PTO so I had limited resources. All food taken was consumed without waste. Used a big jug of water because we didn't want to drink yet from the well since it had antifreeze in it so pipes did not freeze in the winter.
