    Re: "Practice Gratitude for Earth".
    A challenge of these Eco-Challenges is incorporating them into daily routines. This week, I find time and space for this gratitude by walking from the main campus to my West Campus parking spot (instead of waiting for and riding the shuttle). To imagine a potential outcome from exploring these moments of gratitude: when I take any sustainability-related action that is outside my zone of comfort/convenience/habit, maybe I will be more open to understanding that action as not just an outward behavior, but as another way of connecting to the rest of nature, to expanded ideas of community, etc on a personal, internal level.

    Re: "REDUCE ANIMAL PRODUCTS".
    I am vegetarian, but will inch slightly closer to vegan this week by not adding animal products like cheese to my food. I will not (yet) exclude processed foods that have small amounts of milk or eggs, though.
