I'm not usually one for challenges. I have in the past done casual forms of the challenges out there, and found them a great motivator when I was first learning about living sustabinably, simplifying, decluttering, growing food, food storage etc - individually those types of challenges are a great learning tool and a way to create focus and habit.
However, I've been of this mindset now for a good 18mths, and have been learning along the way and a lot of these things now just slot into my day to day life. But, what I like about this challenge is that it gives me a weekly boost to keep up the pace. It's not specific, but creates just enough challenge and stepping out of the comfort zone to make a little bit more of a difference.
So I'm going to take this one up, I probably won't report daily, but will look at this as a weekly challenge - yet try to complete one of the things on the list per day. It may be trickier to keep up with since we are moving into winter, but I will try and get creative lol.
1. Plant something.

I like this. I feel monthly would be more manageable for us. We'd soon run out of space to plant something;-)
