    Today's the last day! Although there are aspects I could have improved (exercise being a big one!), as a result of this competition I have thought a lot more about how many disposable bags I was using, and how many I've saved!

    Despite being a travel day, I achieved all of my daily goals! In fact, traveling presented additional opportunities to work on my daily goals. For example: refusing a plastic bag for my lunch items at the airport cafe, and bringing my own reusable water bottle and filling it in the airport terminal. My travel took me to a warmer locale, and I took the opportunity to do a jog outside as my exercise!

    I added some more challenges to my list today. I've maxes out my five daily challenges. Still looking for more one-time challenges to pursue!

    Let me know if you are also signing up for air quality alerts and are having trouble. Finding the page to sign up for alerts was tricky!
