Mindfully Sustainable, Koru @ SU

Got my windows replaced and didn't even get to log it before the challenge closed! :( Sigh...

I have driven by a house in my neighborhood hundreds of times without noticing the flowers my neighbor planted this summer. I notice colors, shapes, people much more clearly while walking. 

For me, eating begins with a sense of gratitude for the earth, the farmers, the people who transported the food, and those who cooked it. Gratitude is about being mindful of our privileges and support systems.

I do not use any single-use items except frozen vegetable bags. I bought produce at the farmers market to reduce vegetable bag use. 

Congratulations Team on a fun EcoChallenge!! 

So last day!?!?  This has been a great exercise in being intentional about sustainability.  Thank you, Christian, for inviting me to join the team!

It's the last day of the sugar fast... and someone left a leftover chocolate birthday cake out in the common area. OMG so tempted. I will not go down like this! I'll have to be content with an apple instead...

I use 90% less electricity than the typical American household, but there are still things I can do, like wrapping my water heater pipes and continue to wrap my windows, even though I got a few new ones last year.

One more day to go Team......Let's GOOOOOOO!

I’m attending a seminar in Philly right now.  I am heartened to see how many participants are bringing their own water and coffee containers!  Avoiding single use seems to be catching on.
