    Have been picking almost only vegetarian/vegan options when going out to restaurants in New York, it's been fun trying to foods and seeing restaurants be creative with innovative dishes and flavors :)

    My biggest challenge was taking time out of my day to educate myself on a specific topics around sustainability (e.g., clearning products) or findings ways to track the carbon footprint of my purchases. But I loved the challenge and sharing my progress and sustinable behavior with my friends and colleagues :)

    I'm a big believer that Earth Day should be every day and learning should be continuous, not just during Earth Month. It's a bit disappointing to see that companies are solely using earth day as a marketing tool to drive more profits, but, at the end of the day, if that's another way to get consumers involved, educated and more aware, I guess I'll it! :)

    What was surprising about the ingredients in your cleaning supplies, personal care, and pet products?

    I've been reading a lot of articles on ecological cleaning products, and informing myself. DYI tips for cleaning (e.g., using vinegar and essential oils) are great, but I'm also glad to see big companies like P&G come out with environmentally friendly products (from packaging to ingredients), with their "Nine Elements" line (products that only use 9 ingredients or less). Those are the companies that will bring convenience to the masses, which may be less educated on sustainability and climate change

    With 5-minute or less showers reducing your water footprint, what do you plan to add next to your water conservation habits?

    I didn't realize how much water can be saved every minute by reducing your time in the shower. 5 min is honestly a bit of a sprint, but I've been making it work whenever possible this month (and maybe in the future if this becomes a habit)

    A really good app to help track our environmental purchase impact is Joro. I recommend it it's been awesome for me to be more aware of my purchases!
