Over halfway there and there's so much I've learned about seaweed and how it can fight climate change. Particularly, aspergosis seaweed can reduce methane emissions significantly if put in cows' food. I hope this can scale and we can reduce methane emissions by 50-90%, which would be a huge deal for the planet.

I love the accountability of checking in and ensuring I do what I pledged to do for this challenge!! Happy Good Friday all!

Remember how clean the sky was in 2020?...

Most of my carbon emissions are from travel and consumption. One thing I can go to reduce emissions on the travel front is to ask for an electric vehicle when I book a taxi. When it comes to consumption, I can prioritize buying more locally grown food, reduce my use of plastic, and prioritize buying wooden and bamboo products.

Over the past 17 days, I’ve focused on building connections with others while also making small but meaningful changes in my daily habits.

I've spent the last week or so taking ~5 minute showers, which not only has saved gallons of water, but also has saved time in terms of getting ready in the morning. It's easy to get lost in the shower but I feel like lately I've been more disciplined about it and am trying not to waste water.

Yesterday I visited a local yarn store for some crochet supplies instead of visiting a large chain. They were SO friendly and helpful, and I'm so glad to have discovered them in my area! They also shared about some activities/meetups they host so I'm hoping to attend one of those soon and further build community!

I have a "multi-functional" task which incorporates, meeting a neighbor, random acts of kindness and exercise. LOL. We are re-sodding our yard and our neighbors sprinklers are watering our yard too much, so not only do we get to interact and meet them, we also can offer to fix their sprinklers all while preparing the yard and removing...
