Living Sustainably – The one week challenge (sorta?) Wordless-Wednesda

Over the course of the week – starting on Thursday I began my healthy living journey/challenge. My schedule for the week looked like this:

Day 1: Change lightbulbs, Grow your own food

Day 2: Going Vegan, going ZERO trash

Day 3: Going with no lights for the day, collecting water

Day 4: Donate Clothes, Clean up trail system

Day 5: Hanging Laundry, Showers

Day 6: Raw Vegan Diet

Day 7: Walking Home, Blogging

Later on, I will make a separate post highlighting the challenges and resources, but meanwhile, enjoy this Wordless Wednesday! You should totally begin to live a sustainable lifestyle. It can be super simple and quick, yet very effective and low-cost!

^And of course I have to pick the rainy day for the day which I use absolutely no lighting! T’was just playing cards for 2 hours after it got dark at 1pm… and then an early bedtime.

 

^Going round the trails picking up trash!

^SO satisfying to put all that garbage in the trash (and yes, I’m wearing barn attire because I just got back but no judging!)

^Whoo-hoo! Must be helping out day! Donating clothes sure feels good 🙂

^Always hang your laundry (and yes, we did do laundry on a Monday night… oh well!)

^I’ve been showering only 2x a week this week (I mean, I do swim so its not like I get nothing) to conserve water. When I do shower, I use a shower timer, the lowest water setting, and cold water!

^Raw vegan diet to conserve cooking resources. Literally my whole entire dinner.

 

^Walked the 1.5 hours home but it was soooo worth it! 🙂 I could probably keep it up if it wasn’t so cold out.

That’s my Wordless Wednesday folks! I’ll explain more in detail of my activities in a later blog post.

Happy American Thanksgiving to our neighbours!
