I myself, tend to waste a whole lot of paper. But I just started the article because some ideas popped up in my mind. After everyone’s work, I’m actually starting to implement these in my routine!

Although I contributed to this article (Reduce Paper Waste), I have to say, it’s amazing how it turned out. This article is a great example of what collaboration can result in on wikiHow, and I know it will help many readers. From reading this article, I learned a variety of ways I can reduce my paper waste, and I’m definitely going to make more of an effort to do so.

I edited Help Prevent Coral Bleaching( 13 Ways to Help Prevent Coral Bleaching - wikiHow )! I really enjoyed editing this article, and I hope it will help many people. I learned what coral bleaching was, as well as some steps I can take to prevent it-I’ll definitely be sure to implement them (side note-if anyone can find more pictures to add, or has any other advice to add, that would be great! I added all the advice and pictures I could, but some of the steps are missing pictures, and it would be great to see the article expand even more than it already has).

Not sure if this counts since I started it rather than expanding it, but in case it does -

I’m sorry, if I should say this here…

I can believe how much collaboration had changed the article! I’d also like to thank @JayneG and @anon74718567 for their efforts on the article!

I can’t believe this! Really?

I also edited 13 Ways to Help Prevent Coral Bleaching - wikiHow . The edit’s actually a minor one— I just wove a link and added an image, so I’m not sure if this counts… And congrats @XxVxX !

I edited Recycle Old Books as @BoundlessElise :slight_smile:

I learned that you don’t have to throw away old books - there’s so many uses for them beyond just reading them!:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

If created articles also count, I created 11 Ways to Help Slow the Process of Ocean Acidification - wikiHow . @Buterflie and @Alabaster also edited the article. I learned about another important issue that oceans are facing. I’m definitely going to work to reduce my carbon footprint as much as I can and save trees in order to help slow the ocean acidification process.

I have been patrolling lately, and I’ve noticed that Seymour Edits has been making improvements to quite a bit of articles about protecting the environment, so I would like to give a quick shout out to them! Thank you.

I noticed that submissions to this contest have died down. Does anybody have anything else that they would like to submit to this contest? It’s still open until September 30th, and there are still plenty of articles that could be improved or written as well.

I’m working on an edit to a stubbed topic, Make Your Period Eco Friendly , but between college, personal chaos, and my general lack of schedule, I haven’t published anything there yet. (The length of this contest is a good thing right now, in my opinion.)

I also have a really messy draft on dealing with climate change deniers, though that’s a new article rather than an existing one. I’m happy to publish it early so others can collaborate on it, but fair warning that it’s in list format, and I’m not sure how many people are familiar with list-format relationship topics!
