I picked up some trash along the trail during my morning walk.

I carried these items with me when I ventured out earlier today.

I followed Option #1 reduce Carbon footprint by bringing in a reusable flask to drink water, tea, & coffee! Saving throwaway paper cups!!

For many years, we paid a little extra to have our dirty local electricity generation offset with electricity from wind farms. Lately, we purchase 100% renewable electricity locally. I am glad that we don't have gas, since extraction and production of "natural" gas uses lots of energy, and the supply chain leaks methane into the atmosphere - a strong greenhouse gas.

When we bought our townhouse in 2013, I was initially concerned that there is no gas in the complex, but then I thought to myself, that we need to decarbonize anyway, so we are all electric.

We had our hot water pipes insulated during renovation, but it still takes a moment to get hot water in the shower. Instead of wasting the water, I collect it and use it for our patio garden.

I compost scraped food in planters on my apartment veranda. Recently, I got some volunteer plants!

Since beef is the worst protein for the environment, I try not to eat any beef (https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local).

I pack vegan, non-perishable items for lunch every day. If I don’t finish them, they are still good for the next day’s lunch.

I use water bottle instead of plastic bottle. Each time I use half of a tissue paper whenever possible.
