So, this challenge ticked some of my existing boxes (gratifying to see the positive impact of some current behaviours!) but also - happily - inspired me in a few ways I didn't know about, which is awesome... Some more female empowerment, some extra thinking on solar batteries, and lots on food waste - on this I can still do much better and will continue to try (at least everything gets fed to the worms, or composted, but still wasting too much food..) Many thanks to Mark and everyone in the team!
