Ever since I started these challenges I feel like I have been helping the environment so much. I feel like I am actually doing something. Sometimes all it takes is just powering down your computer instead of leaving it on or just stepping away from that screen for a little bit. I feel a lot better with myself as well and I am glad that I am doing this.

Recently before this echo challenge started I began talking more walks. Walking and hiking is something I am very interested in. Hiking in a beautiful place with trees, animals, and maybe even waterfalls are just so calming. This challenge has helped me get outside more and I am loving every second of it.

I usually do not go anywhere without my reusable water bottle. It feels good cutting out plastic water bottles as much as I can. I also try to advocate for others about it. Earth would be a healthier place if we stop using so much plastic. Plastic water bottles are not needed to stay alive, only the water is so we should eliminate the plastic!

  I drink a large amount of water every day, and when away from home, I typically use a paper water cup (sometimes one that comes with a straw). However, Inspired by Amanda and this challenge, I've dug up my reusable water bottle, and I intend to follow in Amanda's footsteps. Keep up the great work!
