I have always used a reusable coffee cup but had used the Styrofoam cups in Eisenberg for water. I bought and left a good reusable water bottle at the beginning of October. Made 2 trips over for ice and water and drank more water doing this.

I ate pretty clean before but paid extra attention to making sure I  ate particularly clean with very little waste.

I would like to invest more time reflecting on better use of my free time. My wireless internet has been down for the past 3 days, and it's actually been a great thing! I know I need to move more, spend more time on training the dogs, getting organized at home.... Many possibilities!

Less screen time = more done around the house! But I miss the screen time.

through neighborhood associations, everyone has more access to a network, more opportunities to share information (receive information and express opinions on problems that matter to us), and thus it helps with more inclusive decision making.

I think the least effort / biggest impact we can do to lower carbon emissions is to adjust the thermostat! Wear sweater in the house in winter, accept to be a little (reasonably) warm in summer... I do that in my house, but I wish businesses would do that as well. I often feel too cold inside stores / restaurants in summer, and too hot in winter...

I think interactions between residents is key to create a sustainable community, as it increases our sense of safety and openness. Bringing people together through volunteer activities is a great start, as it helps connect people with different background and lifestyle.
