All the water on Earth, more than 99 percent of Earth's water is unusable by humans and many other living things - only about 0.3 percent of our fresh water is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps.

This task and Zero Waste Day are the most difficult ones. I live in a flat in Madrid that I rent, so it's challenging to save energy in a place where the washing machine is over 10 years old, there are no dishwashers, so needs to be cleaned manually. The positive part is that I live alone, so there aren't many stuff to clean, and the idea is to group many things (clothes, plates, cookware, etc.). I've tried to convince my landlord to change the washing machine, but it's not possible. I check my energy and water bills and follow up to maintain and reduce consumption. Is the least I can do.

Wow! I did not realize how much water I am wasting until done this exercise, even thought we collect water to reuse at home. Definitely, more work to do!

The other day I posted about my visit to Singapore and one of my favorite places there (the Singapore Botanical Garden). I really enjoy running through the gardens and exploring new areas. After running there hundreds of times, this time I came across a boardwalk that I must have overlooked in the past. It was a quiet reprieve from the hustle and bustle and the shade dropped the temperature by 10 degrees. Amazing what you can find when you explore the world around you.

I use Freshly cosmetics and agree with their message: the believe that if we all value and love our planet, we will quickly and irreversibly be moving towards products and technologies that will be able to preserve it, thus becoming aware of our actions and change for the better. Our planet Earth is part of our family and it is necessary we take care of it. Planet First.

On Saturday I took the fast train to Barcelona from Madrid instead of taking flight. Easy and comfortable journey. Arrived to the city to spend the weekend there.
