Lisa Young 4/25/2018 11:11 AMI've really enjoyed this challenge. I have learned a lot and have made better choices. I've enjoyed this format of self-managed commitments, check-ins and completions. Cool program! Thank you! 😃 -
Lisa Young 4/24/2018 2:40 PMThis was my 2nd year volunteering with St. Louis Earth Day's Recycling On The Go program at the Earth Day Festival. I remove recyclables and compostables from the trash waste, and I also get to help educate festival attendees about what they can compost and recycle. It's a really good feeling to personally move pounds and pounds of recyclables and compostables from the trash; it's such a great visible, tangible reward to see right in front of me what I have saved from the landfill. -

Lisa Young 4/04/2018 11:19 AMHaving committed to eating at least 2 meals a day without meat actually helps inspire me to strive for 3 meatless meals a day most days. I've enjoyed a meatless breakfast and lunch today and have a meatless dinner planned. Feels good! :)
