Week 6: Be Green Challenge
Week 6 of the Be Green Challenge is complete! I think that this challenge was relatively easy to go through with because I never had much time to go shopping much anyways. I did consider buying a new jacket, as my friend took back the one I borrowed from her back.

I began collecting my trash as I accumulate them. I started Monday 5/27 through 6/3. The first few things that I notice I was throwing out often was food scraps and wrapping. I began to notice that almost everything that I used was plastic or covered with plastic. I ate ramen noodle and it came in a plastic bag with the seasoning in plastic packaging.

Going into this last week of the Be Green challenge, I can't say that my habits have really changed too much. Even though I have not purchased clothing and other items on impulse like I usually do, I have turned more towards spending my money on food all the time. A number of factors contributed to this, and it was mostly unavoidable this whole quarter.

The Begreen Challenge has reminded me the joy of upcycling through
crafting. For instance, in the last few weeks, I have been learning the art of mending
and stitching sashiko style. I am taking torn jeans from family members
and giving them beauty, style, and character. I also resumed my old
hobby of beading. In both stitching and beading, I discovered that it's
my form of meditation.

The challenge is finally coming to and end. The past five weeks haven't been too bad for me, not much of a challenge. Though I must say it's a sigh of a relief this is ending because my birthday is coming up and I'm trying to buy some stuff and treat myself.
