May 1 at 12:34 PMI found eating within 100 miles was relatively easy once I was able to get produce from the preorder Farmer's Market. I had to be fast to get my orders in quickly after each farm opened its online store to get produce for the week. I alternated between farms each week.

April 30 at 2:33 PMIt was very easy to cut my car driving mileage. The only time I drove was to pick up groceries or to drive the car so the batteries and tires would not go bad.

April 29 at 12:16 PMAlthough I did not finish my native plantings, I have a plan. It will definitely take more than 1 month to complete. I am still working on limiting my plastic consumption from the last Eco Challenge. Except for ordering things on-line, I am doing very well limiting the plastics that are coming into my house.

April 27 at 7:26 AMA work friend gave me this environmental friendly tip. I bring my own hand towel and napkin to work instead of using paper towels.

April 15 at 2:32 PMI'm very happy with my farmer's market produce. The salad greens are amazing! I've ordered produce for the next two weeks from two different farms. I'm very grateful that there is still a market for me to walk to on Sunday mornings. Social distancing is easy. They place the produce box onto the parking lot. I'm able to pack it in my...

April 15 at 1:51 PMTrying to decide where to buy native plants and where to put them. I think I have decided to put the first ones near my mailbox. First I need to remove the grass in the area. I will work on that today.

April 13 at 8:50 AMI'm finally able to eat all of my daily food grown and produced within 100 miles of my home. This is due to my Farmer's Market pickup of produce yesterday!
