I had a mini picnic in the park today and it was refreshing to get out in the sun. There were lots of squirrels and other small creatures around so I made sure not to bother them. It was very relaxing listening to all the birds and the small creek nearby.

I've made going on walks and cleaning up any garbage I see a daily activity now. It's actually very surprising how many people are still littering. My neighborhood park has plenty of trash cans yet people still can't manage to put their trash in there. But I will continue to clean up any I see so that my environment is beautiful!

Composting is going very well! I'm surprised at how much food my family and I don't finish. It's very helpful to have our chickens though because they eat the scraps right up. With this challenge on trying to waste less food, we've started to meal prep and portion control a lot better!

Today I went on a walk around my neighborhood and in a small park near me, and I was shocked at how much trash there was. My motto is "always leave it cleaner than you found", so of course I picked up all I could find. The amount of pollution there is in the world it reminds me of the movie Wall-E.

I've noticed that other members of my family waste a lot of food. We've all started to reduce our waste and put more scraps into our compost bins. My mom has already been putting some compost in our garden.

I had made myself lunch and couldn't finish it all. Knowing it would go bad I put the rest of it in my compost bin. I have two seperate bins at my house, one for the garden compost and one for my chickens. Sometimes I forget to put the rest of my food scraps in the bins but today I didn't!
