REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Exercise Daily

How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

Mary Ganska 10/09/2024 6:08 AM

I often am able to do both since most of my exercising is spent outside on my bike - and I ride socially at least once every week or two with a group of friends that bike. :)

REFLECTION QUESTION
Water Calculate My Water Footprint

How does your view on water consumption change after completing this action?

Mary Ganska 10/07/2024 1:18 PM

Your water footprint:

Personal:

1,489 Gallons/Day

US Average: 1,802 Gallons/Day

I think this wasn't entirely accurate - while all my electric comes from a supplier, I do choose a renewable supplier so it seems like I'm not capturing that? However, I do recognize I can be more efficient and choose to eat less meat and shorten my showers to do even better on water usage. I've made a lot of progress and my monthly water bill reflects that, but I like to strive for even better. :)

  Reminds me growing up how every Saturday we had to clear out the clutter on the dining room table - and not just put it on the stairs! I do so much better now after 65+ years of practice!!
