    I struggled the most with this one.  I still want to do it!  But it took a real investment of time and energy that I wasn't able to find.

    Out of sight out of mind, the decision to reduce waste actually starts when you are bringing things INTO your house.  Buying reduced packing products, more durable products, etc reduces the amount of waste you produce.  
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?

    Have more vegetarian options at restaurants!  Celebrate veggies!  Shift culture so that meat is not needed to make a meal "complete"!

    Walking with my dogs and husband is a great bonding activity for all of us. It helps the dogs with their behavior and helps me be more centered. It also gets us away from the TV so Jeffer and I can catch up on our day.

    Things I'm grateful for today:
    Our admin Mindy who is such a wonderful, caring person who makes our company so much stronger.

    Different skill sets. Realizing my bias toward execution sometimes needs some balance. :) 

    Dogs. Always grateful for dogs.
