    I can;t believe the challenge ends today! It really surprises how much can be accomplished in one month!

    Today, I ended up walking in the pouring rain! Yeah it a little cold, but I like to think of it as a "God Shower." Plus, I could splash around in puddles all I wanted!

    Update: I have been walking SO much! I have tried to have others walk with me, but it has been a little difficult to motivate them. I have collected a ton of recyclables that sit in my room for my greenhouse and my statue for my Vietnam project. Overall, it's going really well!

    Today, I am going to walk 1.6 miles to City Bakery to have my therapist appointment. Have a little snack as a "reward" for all the walking I have done

    So we are doing a project on the Vietnam War and I realized I could use the cans and glass bottles in my house to make art for one of the requirements. I'm really excited to get started!

    Yesterday and today, I walked a total of 4.1 miles! I told my friends about how I was walking as much as I could, and so was able to convince them to walk downtown instead of driving. Reducing my carbon footprint a little each day!

    I walked 2 miles today! And I gave my family a heads up about my plastic bottle collecting. Just started my collection with three bottles!

    For those looking for ideas on what to do with all the plastic bottles in the house, here are some ideas I found online. I plan on trying to do as many as I can, it all depends on how much material I can get my hands on!!!

    Yesterday (March 27th), I walked a total of 0.7 miles from my school to the allergy doctors. It is small, but each little bit still makes a difference!!

    This month, I’ve started walking as much as I can as a means of transportation. So far, I walked about 5 miles! And a homeless man yelled at me to look both ways before I cross the street
