Kansas City Zoo

I have been using a laundry pre-spray for stains that is refillable and I can buy the refill bottle for much less cost per ounce than buying a new bottle with the sprayer. I have also used laundry sheets instead of packaged laundry detergent. I found they worked pretty well!

I do appreciate having my own soap and shampoo and conditioner, even though the hotels provide them. I have somewhat sensitive skin, so when I bring my own products in re-usable containers, I don’t have to worry about the soap at the hotel causing my skin to break out.

Web ave only traveled by car since I started this challenge. This was fairly easy to do as we packed snacks in re-usable containers.

Currently working on getting my friends to join in!

I want to stop using flushable wipes. It makes me disappointed in companies to learn that people are falsely advertising them.

I have been out of the country but happy to get started now that I'm back!

I think I will supplement my dog's food with homemade pet food to help with time investment and to ensure that my dog gets all the nutrients she needs.  I will still reduce dog food packaging but maintain life balance and health of my dog.

I will consider each purchase to be certain that it is necessary.  Hopefully I will save money by being greener and reducing consumption and packing materials of things I do not really need.

I will look at mints or natural gums to replace my gum chewing habit.

Wow! We are already almost halfway through the EcoChallenge!! Everyone is doing so great! I love reading everyone's comments and reflections.  Don't forget it's never too late to join the challenge so invite your family and friends at anytime.  Let's see if we can get to 100 teammembers!
