    I watched Lost and Found about the families that get separated fleeing Myanmar. I learned that so many families are in need of help all over the world. I will pray for them.

    I'm trying to turn off lights more often at work and home, if not needed. Also, I'm using a small light on my desk instead of overhead lights to focus better as well as lessening energy impact.

    I will try to remember to bring my reusable shopping bags into the grocery store. I used to do this on a regular basis but somehow got away from it.

    What was it like to practice mindfulness? If this is a practice for you already, what was something new you understood in practicing during Earth Month?

    It is harder than it seems. I used to meditate so this has been a good reminder to get back to it. I hope to continue after this Eco challenge by putting a reminder on my calendar.

    Someone recommended the YouTube Documentary called "What the Health?" I loved it. I am on the road to becoming Vegan.

    I made a donation to Second Servings of Houston, a non-profit organization that picks up prepared food that would otherwise go to waste and delivers it to their community partners. Their mission not only helps feed those who need it, they're also reducing food waste (and therefore reducing carbon emissions). I'm happy to support this kind of win-win activity.

    If you have a SodaStream or other carbonation machine, did you know you can use it to make your green leafy vegetables last longer? I just bought some spinach yesterday, and I need to try this out: https://www.americastestkitchen.com/cooksillustrated/articles/7053-how-to-keep-salad-greens-fresh-longer
