Through thanksgiving break I had the opportunity to save food and pack leftovers so the food did not go to waste. I also only took the food that I knew I was going to eat in the right amount of time so it does not go to waste or go bad.

  I also participated in doing this over thanksgiving break! It was a great way to make sure that all the food was eaten and none of it went to waste.

my challenge is going well. I started turning the sink off when I am in-between washing dishes and did not wait for the shower water to get super warm. I also made sure to use less water while brushing my teeth.
