    I found the site confusing and difficult to navigate.  Once I did find my way in, I saw that I already do many of the suggestions and that also left me confused about what to do next.

    Our recycling box has been way more full than our trash!!!  Woo Hoo!!!!!!

    One thing that I could do right away is refuse to use plastic bags for my produce at the grocery store. I was always under the impression that we had to use these bags, but we do not. I think that if everyone made this choice to not use those bags, we could eliminate a lot of plastic waste.

    This fact definitely applies to me because I live in an area where public transportation isn't accessible, and biking to the grocery store is not easy either. My area is extremely hilly, but I don't have the option to not drive my car and the grocery store is under 3 miles away. In fact, all of the stores that I go to are under 3 miles. I think...

    It is known that fresh produce is far healthier than processed foods. I think that this quote is important because if we are purchasing local farmers, we are receiving healthy and fresh food instead of spending our money at the doctors due to fast food and processed items. Not to mention, purchasing from a farmer is great for our environment!

    I can definitely tell that Oregon and, more specifically, Portland is having different seasonal changes due to climate change. Our past winter was very dry compared to normal and we had snow in February. I think in the future these seasons are going to continue to change and be either more wet or more dry.

    When it is sunny I like to spend more time outdoors. I am more motivated to go for a walk, sit outside, etc. When I am outside I am not inside using lights, electronics, and energy to heat or cool my house. Simply by the sun being out and me spending time outdoors, I am reducing my own environmental footprint.

    I think giving up fresh berries or certain vegetables would be really hard. These arevery  healthy options that are used in the summer and to not even have the frozen options during the rest of the year would be disappointing.

    On my way to turning all my bills into paperless, did one more today

    When challenging myself to eat at least one meal free of processed foods a day, I was simply thinking of this from an environmental standpoint, but this is actually very healthy! I think this will be a permanent change for me because processed  foods typically are unhealthy.
