    One place that has shaped who I am today is the community library in my hometown. It was cozy and I loved looking through all the books. It definitely felt magical to me and impacted how much I love a library now.

    Oceans support life on Earth by contributing to the ecosystem which keeps the Earth alive and functioning.  I can help take care of ocean health by not eating seafoods that are in high demand and are unethically sourced.

    I cannot do this if I am being totally honest. I do not want to be without coffee. But what I am doing is looking into responsible and aware coffee companies who are ethically harvesting their coffee. That way, I can support an ethical company and people trying to make an honest living and I can have my coffee too :)

    Wow! I'm sort of sad this will be over soon! It was so much fun! Let's do it again next school year when we can actually complete actions outside of our homes! Congrats everyone and great job!

    I feel like we should care more about the eco challenge, more than half of the group doesn't even check in...

    Cutting down on Nutella can save so many trees! It was not hard to stop eating it.

    My eco tip is to get involved in how politics impacts the environment. Our elected leaders make decisions everyday that impact our environment. Stay involved, vote and promote legislation that supports a healthy environment!

    To reduce my electricity usage I should get better at turning off the lights in rooms that I am not currently in. I should also get better at unplugging all of the electronics that I don't always use. Most of the light bulbs in my house have already been switched over to more energy efficient models.

    Every day at 7pm I cheer with the rest of my neighborhood to celebrate first responders.
