Continuing to consume less meat. Staying away from bottled water

Being a part of this challenge is making me increasingly aware of ways I CAN make a difference.  I am continuing to refuse plastic straws, have purchased a reusable straw which I use consistently at home, signed up for additional paperless bills, am wasting less of everything..talking to people about this challenge, engaging g'children in conversation, taking my reusable bags into all stores, not just grocery stores, taking my own reusable containers for take out and restaurant left overs, attending to food I buy..how much and what..more organic, using left overs right away, reduced my red meat use to zero, and eating very little if any chicken..if I do it is free range/organic...Amazing what awareness inspires!  thanks to all who are taking this class with me as well..they have provided tremendous inspiration!!
