I won't give back to the earth
I will not give back to the earth because I believe the only time you give back to the earth is when you die and your body becomes dust once again. But I pledge to take less from the earth or at least as little as I possibly can.
For years I've turned the water off when brushing my teeth and shaving. I try to recycle all that I can. So yes
terday, when working on this challenge I did two things.
First, I went upstairs and changed into warmer clothes rather than turning up the heat. Second, we recently installed a low flush upstairs. We still have the regular flush toilets in the other bathrooms. I walked right past a downstairs bathroom and went upstairs to use the low flush toilet to take less from the earth. I will make this a habit.

When the flowers wilted, she tossed the whole thing in the trash. I am upset that my vase went into a landfill. She could have recycled it or given it to charity, or back to me.
