    I am most interested in ocean conservancy, especially as it relates to over fishing.  Ever since I was a kid I have loved and been fascinated by the ocean. Over fishing has the ability to destroy ecosystem which can have long term deleterious effects on our environment.

    I learned about some non-profit organizations and what they are doing.  There are opportunities for both donating and investing.  I am very interested in investing in organizations that do climate change and other social justice activities.

    I have a gas stove at home and have been using an induction stove this week which has worked great.  I didn't realize the issues with using natural gas.  We probably consume quite a bit with cooking and with gas fire places.  Maybe can be more limited with use.

    Right now I am just going to keep my showers under 5 min.  My next step is to help the others in my family do the same.

    This is tough for me. I tend to make lists in my head of all that I need to do while I'm trying to just focus on breath - baby steps!
