Overall my campus ecochallenge is going well. My two challenges are pretty similar, to use a reusable water bottle and a reusable mug. The mug one is definitely harder. It's easy to fall into habits and just go grab a coffee from a place on campus. I have started to finally start using my coffee maker I have in my dorm which I can use my own mug. However when I do go grab a coffee from out and about I'm going to try and remember my mug so they can use that instead. I also fall into the habit of just buying plastic water bottles because they are easier to grab and go but so far I have been good at sticking to my water bottle and refilling it. It is also helping me drink more water. It's hard to break habits and remember to bring your water bottle or mug. I find it helpful to keep them by my backpack so I can see them when I'm leaving.
