Low Impact Challenge:
My four personal challenges that I will take on are doing a better job of recycling, using less of unnecessary lights in my room, spending more time outside, and plant more tomato plants outside in the garden.

5/10/10
Currently, I have a few vegetables in my garden at the moment and there are more to plant. As for recycling I will help out my parents to do a better job. Spending time outside is a little harder for me but so far a few hours outside completed.

My garden finally got some water, after the strange occurrences of frost in May. I need to work on finding out a better way to cover up my tomato plants for the frost because I found 0ne of the plants bent in half because one of the buckets fell on top of it. As for the light reduction in my room and else where in the house, that has been going alright.
My room is a place where I can control so it is easier for me to take some initiative to change my habits. Where in other parts of the house it is harder for me to constantly be waiting for people to be done working in the room and shut off the lights; without being a weirdo. I think it will be better if everyone in my family would take part but I feel that this would make it a "Larger Impact Challenge"

5/13-18/10

Nothing really exciting going on, just making the challenges part of my daily routine. The using of no lights or few lights as possible is going well. My tomato plants are doing well, though the ones that I have planted in one particular spot haven't been well in this spot but the plants that were planted in the same spot as last year are doing well as expected. So far just going through the motions on this challenge and just going about my business.
