    All in all, I produced less than 10 lbs of food waste during this challenge. This is pretty normal for me. I stopped wasting food when I was a broke college/grad student & realized how important "waste not, want not" was. Most of the waste was from meal prep, so inedible rinds, egg shells, and/or coffee grounds. All of this can go...

    kinda sad but kinda relieved that this is the last time I have to check in today.

    I find myself joining more conversations about our environmental challenges. I also have found myself sharing these conversations with my roommates who are also interested in this topic but do not know what to do or where to start in terms of helping our environment. I find that we have so many problems that are not being fully addressed by the...

    Personally they provide a biodiverse area that I enjoy. I have always been more of a forest girl and enjoy spending time hiking in forests. My mother was a biology major specifically with flora and fauna so we would spend a lot of time looking at plants together and understanding why they were so important to us.

    The soil we plant our food in is very important to the food itself and also to us. Soil is a lot more important to us than we think, so can determine what nutrition the food that grows there may have. If the soil is not treated properly then it can lose nutrition and that can be damaging to ourselves. If we don't get enough nutrition then our...

    It will help me be smarter about what I buy and when I buy it. I know now that the dates do not correlate with food safety. It mostly correlates with the freshness or peak time to eat the food. I will now be more conscious about looking at the freshness of the food and not just the date.

    It's becoming harder and harder to post about gender inequality daily. Its not the lack of information out there - its the subject that is disheartening. All of the articles say the same thing, give the same statistics, repeat the same warnings, & it falls on deaf ears. Posting on social media about it, where it receives ZERO responses,...

    Happy Earth Day!! Don't just be smart about the environment today-- be smart about it every day! Lately, I have been using plastic grocery bags for a lot of different things. I am currently making a cosplay and am constructing some parts out of plastic bags to save them and use them instead of just throwing them away I have also been...

    If you lose the balance that you originally intended then everything after it can fall out of order. Balance is a very delicate process especially for our environment, if one little factor is thrown out of the balance then there will be consequences for it.

    I looked into this as I was researching more ways to travel especially in Europe. The one transportation option that interested me the most was train travel. It is much cheaper than buying a plane ticket and even though it takes more time to get to your destination it is cost efficient and better for the environment. By taking a train you can...
