@2023missionimpossible I never thought of cooking methods have impact on carbon emission before reading "The climate benefits of veganism and vegetarianism". I used to prefer cooking on gas stove but now, I have no choice but use a induction style stove. I guess that's more environment friendly than using a gas stove? There are still so much to learn and I'm excited for learning more! I probably won't be able to turn complete vegan or vegetarian but I will definitely try to reduce my meat consumption and find more yummy plant based recipes. 🙂

#2023missionimpossible I found good flowers for bees: https://www.gardendesign.com/flowers/bees.html#flowers. It was a good opportunity for me to learn about bees and related gardening!

#2023missionimpossible The BBC article "The climate benefits of veganism and vegetarianism" was quite informative and encouraging. I will try to be more mindful of what I eat, how it's cooked, and how much it's consumed and composted. I look forward to contributing to sustainability of this planet! 🙂

I do not keep the AC on more than an hour no matter how hot the weather is. (it went over 100°F/38°C today)

I did not throw the water away that washed the rice. I saved it in a couple of containers so that I can use it when I wash the dishes or make a soup.

I brought dozens of old newspapers and magazines to the paper recycling bin.

After lunch at a restaurant, I packed the leftovers in my reusable container that I carry in my bag. This is not a common behavior in Korea, but I feel good about doing it because it reduces food waste and saves resources as well as my time and energy to prepare another meal.

I did not use body soap and shampoo when I showered. I found I was clean enough after that.

I made a detour riding to work, to put the vegetables and fruits peels I've collected in the composting bin from my city.

I used metal straw with my drink and not plastic.
