    The challenge is going well so far! The food waste tracking has been really interesting. I brought in a cloth dish towel because I was more aware of how much paper towel I was using to dry dishes at work.

    What do you want to prioritize over material 'stuff' in your own life?

    I want to prioritize time spent with people - friends, family (and myself). I want to prioritize activities outside in nature and enjoying the built environment as well.

    Ate two meatless meals today. I looked into going paperless after having selected that challenge earlier and realized all my bills are already paperless (which is great!) so I emailed two companies I receive catalogs from and asked to be removed from their mailing list and changed my Comcast account settings so I don't receive targeted ad mailers.
