    With 5-minute or less showers reducing your water footprint, what do you plan to add next to your water conservation habits?

    I think washing dishes would be a good spot. I've heard for a longtime that if you fill a dishwasher it is more efficient than doing dishes by hand. I kind of want to know if this is actually true.

    What was the tastiest meatless or vegan meal you ever had or had recently? Did you make it? Can you share a recipe?

    I love taking the watercress salad at work and adding onto it things like olives, artichokes, cucumbers, and other tasty treats!

    Grabbed some extra sleep last night and made sure to take a mindful moment after I finished making my coffee!

    It varies day to day but often involves very intentional physically breathing or observation and awareness based learning.

    One of my favorite things to do outside is to just sit on one place by myself and think or read or journal. I think that when you reduce artificial sensory input and movement it allows you to really focus on the space you are in. What do you hear? What do you see? What is the ebb and flow to the energy and activity of the space. You lose so much when you stick in those earbuds.

    This has always been pretty easy with my breakfasts as I'm normally a smoothie and/or oatmeal/muesli person, be the added component that I'm going to pick up for this is finding an alternative to the bagels with cream cheese that I normally eat when I get to work. The bagels are wrapped in cellophane, the cheese is in plastic single serving cups, and the knives are plastic, disposable, and wrapped!
