We've loved reading what Steemians are doing to be conscious, alternative consumers, being aware of what they can do to protect the health of the Earth as well as themselves - often, doing both at the same time! From growing your own spirulina (who needs expensive supplements) to using snails as skin care (yes - that happened! Love it!), you guys did not disappoint. Thanks so much for the Week 1 entries - two of you win a 1 steem spot prize for joining in on Week 1!

Check out the entries below! on some cases I changed the title just so it's easy to tell what the post was about.

After some hard thinking by @walkerland and @riverflows, we decided @mayb HAD to be the winner of the 1 steem spot prize - from snails to rye flour shampoo, this natural medicine girl is practicing what she preaches. Besides, she also did a fabulous #naturalmedicine #mindfullife post this week on how to meditate, so we're kinda in love with her right now! Thanks @mayb! Plus, @trucklife-family also wins 1 steem for her early entry... Making detergent out of woodash! Wow. Minds blown. And is that a steem bucket? Even better!

Loved all the entries and they'll be in the running to win over 40 Steem in prizes next week. Don't forget to tag your post #naturalmedicine and #ecotrain, and paste your entry under this post or the original contest guidelines here.
