    Happy Earth Day! Total coincidence but my boss planned our first ever team event/meet in person since March 2020. Half of our team, including our boss, is new since the pandemic and we've never met face to face. Though only 1/3 (or less) of our team actually showed. It was after hours, and a bit chilly out still. We had a potluck in the park. With biodegradable plates.

    April 30th is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. My city, Spokane WA, COPS Northwest is having a drive-thru event to drop off unwanted medications. No needles, but vaping devices accepted without batteries. Free Narcan kits on first come/first serve basis. Also free medication lock boxes for the first 50 people. Check your local area in case other groups are doing similar. Though any I get rid of will just be dropped at WalGreen's as they are 1 block away and have a medical disposal bin in the pharmacy.

    Do you have any tips for others on finding locations that accept products for safe disposal?

    Dress for success! Wearing workout clothes today so there's one less excuse for getting outside, going to the gym, walking in a park, etc. And I'm going to attempt my new plan of setting a 10 minute timer to make sure I take a few breaks from work during the day to walk, meditate/mindfulness, etc. Also I shared my work's earth-week link, and the Eco-challenge link, with my coworkers.

    Since I do the ecochallenge on my work computer: I never post on weekends. I'm trying to break my workaholic, stressed because there's just SO MUCH WORK to do during the week, never take the breaks I'm supposed to/entitled to bad habits. It's so very hard because (waives hands at everything). Today... I'm setting a 10 minute timer and making sure i take a walk outside, and practice mindfulness, during my workday.

    Hello, everyone! I've been participating in EcoChallenge for a number of years - first because my company promoted it, and later just because I like "doing, participating, volunteering" and learning ways I can improve.
