Greetings earthlings,
It is Manicpanic again, here to issue another pair of green challenges. I hope you all made out alive from last week, and I hope you're reconsidering your personal care products and switching to more eco friendly ones. If you had any trouble, thought it was a breeze, or like silly walks (just making sure you're paying attention) please comment or shoot us an email!That being said, I'll hit you with this weeks challenges:
Challenge 5: Make some jam! Now, this one is very dependent on your location. But, where I am, it is definiately fruit season! Therefore, go out there and make some jam/jelly! It's easy, it really is, and after you're done you will feel so accomplished! Think of that time in Cast Away where Tom Hanks started a fire. Like that. You'll be dancing around your kitched yelling, "I. HAVE. MADE. JAM."
Here's a couple of recipes to try out, but feel free to google around for one you'd like to try:

Challenge 6: Get a travel mug/water bottle, no more plastic bottles. Bottled water is not only bad for the environment, it's bad for your health. Like, really really really bad. Like, cancer causing bad. So, this week I proclaim that we shall stop buying stuff that comes in plastic bottles! Like coffee? Get a travel mug. Like iced coffee? They have travel cups for that too. Everything else can go in a plain old water bottle. This is one of the easiest challenges to do and it can make an enormous impact. Just think how often you've seen a water bottle discarded by the side of the road.
Alright, challenges have been issued. Can you handle it? I think you can! And, once again, please email/comment/tweet/carrier pidgeon you're questions and concerns!
Endless <3

Ps. Sorry this entry is so short. However, tomorrow is my birthday (!) so I've been very busy baking cakes!
Pps. We've got some AMAZING blogs coming, I promise! The moderators are going through a very busy patch right now (long distance relationships, band camp, new puppies, new jobs, deployments, and lots of long working hours) but we'll be back at it soon enough! Fret not!
