    I can further reduce my carbon footprint by prioritizing foods in season, car trips versus flights, biking to work more, eating less beef/lamb, and purchasing local goods. I aim to try to ride my bike to work now that the weather is getting warmer.

    I work to reduce water consumption on a daily basis when it comes to laundry, spending practices, recycling, dishes, and bathroom practices. I think I could do better by considering water use involved in food practices and power and be more conscious about my food sources and electicity/fuel use.

    It allows me the time live a bit slower which helps me to see and grasp the waste and time I produce and use for each task which gives me a better opportunity to be conscientious about my habits.
