    I try to avoid buying things in general to reduce my consumption and it costs money I don't have so I haven't completed some of my challenges like purchasing carbon offsets for a plane ticket. I will in the future though whenever I buy my next plane ticket. I'm biking to work though so I've been successful there!

    They offer me solitude and peace. They provide a space to reflect, think, and offer beauty to admire. I hike through them with friends and family and make memories. I marvel at the magnitude of the trees and wonder about all the faces they have seen pass by.

    I feel great because I'm getting exercise and reducing my carbon footprint! It's a win-win. When it's beautiful weather outside I get smell the flowers and feel the sun on my face.
