    For volunteering in my community, I went to the grocery store and got essential items for older friends of mine. I felt like I was being helpful to them during this hard time and that I was able to make a difference to them. I am glad that this challenge encouraged me to help out in my community.

    After watching the movie for assignment #2, I feel even better about not using plastic water bottles. I had never learned about how bad it is for your health to drink water out of plastic water bottles. I think that I will make having reusable water bottles a lifestyle for myself after this challenge.

    I have really enjoyed this challenge - especially since I have been staying home so much more because of corona. I have been so surprised to see how many plastic water bottles I use a day. I never realized that I only used plastic water bottles until I had to become aware of what I was drinking my water out of.
