    What surprised you about the two produce lists? How will you use these lists for your grocery shopping? Have you used these lists before?

    Before I read these lists I had a little knowledge about it, but it surprised me to find out onions and avocados are among the "Clean 15" and strawberries and peaches are the bad guys.

    I will try to recall this whenever I make a grocery shopping list.

     Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Practicing it on green areas and with nature give you a better feelings and protect the enviroment.

    You can realize there is a direct relation between sedentary and obese people, also with some diseases.

    People who practice any sport or physical activity in a weekly basis are less often to suffer most diseases.

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

    When taking a shower, I am used to wait like 1-2 minutes before my water gets warm. Instead of wasting all this cold water, I can keep it in a bucket so I can reuse it for example to water my plants.
