Understand My Water Footprint

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.

Before you started this challenge, did you think you were 'addicted' to sugar? How do you feel now? What was the most challenging part of reducing refined sugar, and how did you overcome it?

Before I started this challenge, I wouldn't say I was addicted to sugar, but I definitely had created a habit of eating something with refined sugar every night. The hardest part is getting out of the habit of it, so instead I've swapped refined sugar for natural sugars, like eating an apple or mandarin at night. It's still a challenge daily, and I'm not perfect, but I've noticed my food noise is quieter now.

Been having a rough week with my anxiety, making sure I do my gratitude journaling every day has really helped me stay present and focus on what I can control. This correlates to what we are learning about with social movements; even small actions done over time can lead to a positive impact for yourself and your community. I know I'm way more present and in a better mood when I stick to my daily habits, which in turn makes me a more productive and positive member of society.
