    How's my challenge going?  I'd say about 50/50.  Some of my challenges proved to be a good exercise in raising awareness of little things I can do during the day to decrease my footprint and increase the quality of each day. But other challenges were more difficult to attend to each day and as a result I've not been as successful in meeting them.  There is little routine in my life, so some days I just couldn't get to all the goals I set for myself!
