As of today, my ecochallenge is going very well. I have so far been fully successful in all of my challenges. The first was for conservation of energy. Although I'm usually pretty good about turning lights off, this challenge made me realize how much more goes into this. For example, my goal with this challenge was to avoid consuming phantom power and I realized that unplugging things, especially in dorms takes a lot more than I originally thought. This was very interesting to me. For the other two challenges, I have been much more conscious about my water use. For one, I have been taking not only shorter showers, but also cooler. For the other I have been using my reusable water bottle more consistently and have not used any single use plastic bottles.
