This is my first time participating in the EcoChallenge. I believe the 2 week challenge is a good goal to set for yourself to change your habits to a lower impact lifestyle.
My EcoChallenge is to eliminate the use of all plastic water bottles. It is a goal I have been wanting to set for my self for a long time. I hate plastic bottles; not only are they wasteful, but also also expensive. They use excess energy to produce the water bottles as well as end up in our oceans, and landfills. I pledge to only use refillable bottles.
Another EcoChallenge is unplugging my appliances when not in use. I used to be in that habit but I have been slacking on such items such as my labtop. Some appliances that have power storage devices are still consuming energy when not used.
