My walks typically consist of some road and some trail walking. I like the lack of infrastructure in many ways. I get a chance to feel secluded and among nature. 

my ecochallenge is going well, I've done 14 different challenges.

By spending more time in nature, I feel more connected to the plants and animals around me, and feel more inspired to protect their precious lives.

I work at and support Althea's Attic Boutique, which is owned by a woman, and run by a team of women. I can support more female-owned businesses by researching the stores I choose to shop at.

Restrict use of one time plastic, refurbish a space using solely repurposed materials, and renew the length of a material's life time through proper storage and use.
