Listen to the Planet Money Podcast – “Sell Me Your Climate Bombs”
Planet Money recently interviewed the co-founders of Tradewater to learn about the dangerous impact that old refrigerants have on our environment. I will listen to the podcast to learn more about this necessary solution in fighting a climate crisis.

One last weekly round of errand filled bus trips has gone down today. While I do prefer the bus a lot more than learning to drive around, the bus is unfortunately not operational all day. I have also just purchased a new sketchbook to replace my old one from a couple years ago. However this time it is composed of recycled paper. Additionally between my last post and my current post, have taken 30 minutes to listen to a Planet Money Podcast and learned how bad fridge chemicals really are for the environment. This challenge has been a cumbersome but insightful challenge to complete.
Another week of daily routine bus trips passes. Many of these didn't have much of apurpose other than to staying productive and punctual in my daily ecochallenge obligations but some were used to reac the mall or to help my relativeswithdraw their funds from atms to distribute to payees and have cash on hand. Still have yet to do other activites.
I have unfortunately forgot to check in to log my bus trips from the 11th and 12th.Something I have to work on. Also soon will be in the process of refilling my supply of toilet paper but wth some made out of recycled paper.
Week 1 has come and gone. Unfortunately, I haven't made time to post regarding my eco challenge but doen't mean I haven't done anyactivities. over the spring break, I have frequented the bus to get some pizza, watch a movie, and some other leisurely activities. Have also used it for more such as grocery shopping and dropping off returns. I'll try to post more frequently here for week2 and beyond.
