    I recently volunteered at Shred Day Houston, and it was a memorable experience to see how many people in the community that not only care to shred their information confidentially. It was a partnership with Houston Food Bank and many donated as well.

    Hello Ecochallengers,

    We are in the second week of the Ecochallenge. For those of you who haven't yet logged into the Ecochallenge to record your progress, I know that it can be difficult to find time in your busy day to check in to Ecochallenge, but it takes me less than 5 min most days to do my check-ins. If it's more convenient for you, you can login to the Ecochallenge dashboard from your phone (note- it’s a website, not an app).

    The TX Market team is currently at 31 members, and from myself and Maria Vasquez we are happy for everyone who have joined so far and the new members to come. Here’s to a successful remaining couple of weeks of the challenge!

    Chayn Frederick and Maria Vazquez, your Ecochallenge captains

    How can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place? Was there a new place in your region that was exciting to learn about and visit?

    Spending more time outdoors helped me to discover that in Houston. We have a place called Memorial Park, and they recently built a new bridge and features to park which are pretty nice. Also, in an old neighborhood that I used to stay in built a skate park.

      I did mine last year - where I don't have low-flow, I went to my water supply line and turned it lower. Yikes - we take water for granted and it may become more valuable than oil in the not too distant future!
