    In this week of ecochallenges I was able to do more research on why having more meatless meals is healthier for our environment and for our bodies. The kinds of food being produced for us to consume is detrimental to our planets health and our own, the international commissions of scientist have found this destruction will lead to shorter lives...

    Throughout my life I always had access to cars so i never rode the bus or took public transit, but know that I do not have as much money to spend on gas the bus has been a great alternative. Know that I take the bus to all of my classes I am saving a lot of money on gas and on parking passes which has allowed me to save more and spend more on...

    I've been really enjoying eating my meals outside with no distractions. It's nice to notice new things about my backyard or go to the beach to eat a meal and enjoy the noise of the waves. I like how this challenge is brining me outside more on a daily basis.

    This weekend I did some cleaning up around my house and in my garage specifically. I found a few gallons of old oil sitting in containers from when I had changed my oil in the past, and I took them down to my local auto parts store to be recycled. I had been meaning to make a trip there anyway to buy a few things and figured why not. It felt...

    The last three weeks have been difficult and I kept forgetting to post my progress, but I have noticed a significant reduction in my food waste around the house. I also switched to cooking more stew/soup dishes that incorporate a wider selection of ingredients before they started wilting. It also saved me at least two trips to the store!

    I made Picadillos de Tofu with Arroz Roja! Usually it's made with ground beef, but I tried making it with tofu instead, and it turned out delicious. Usually Picadillos is kinda heavy because of all the meat that is used in it, but adding the tofu plus more veggies makes the dish softer and kinda creamy too with how the tofu changes the dish....

    I do have this app that has been helping me to remember to take care of myself and even do my eco challenge. Its called finch and I have a 39 day streak. This is unusual for me as I struggle to stay focused and motivated to do something everyday.

    This past week was tough. Ive been going through bad burnout on top of constantly being busy with a million other things. I think the only thing Ive been consistent with (at least mostly) is walking as I have to walk to places to access anything I need.
