I had a really great day! I spent my whole time outside weeding and tending to the front of my parent's garden. Been more mindful of my showers and flushes. So far have been beating my time spent with 5 min showers! Going to sign off for tonight after doing some homework. See you all tomorrow.

Hello ECOchallenge 2020 participants -- With the change of everything that is going on I think the results of this challenge will be interesting and more impactful to ourselves in the long run.

Please be well and have fun tomorrow!
