    Watched the documentary Cowspiracy with some friends last night. They're prideful carnivores so I'm not sure how much it changed their minds, though they said  wouldn't hurt to cut down their meat consumption. 

    We definitely had some citicisms about the movie. It makes great points about the current form of the factory farming industry but there was quite a bit of needless pandering and over exageration. Overall it was a good movie.

      Also I got drunk and ate a burger... Right after the movie too. What's wrong with me?? 😨

    Made pasta again because it was so good (and stupid easy)! This time with some mushrooms and that was a good touch. 
    It's not really a part of my challenge (forgot to pick the extra goals) but I've been using a reusable bag while shopping as well as a coffee thermas. Haven't used a paper cup for coffee since the challenge started and feeling pretty good about that

    🎶 The best part of waking up 🎶

    Has absolutely nothing to do with a five minute shower 😤

      It's always been a guilty pleasure to just stand in a warm shower and listen to music while waking up. Being rushed is such nuisance but worth it to save so much water. It adds up.

      Aw! I used to shower for a minute, turn the water off, lather up, and then have a nice four minute rinse! Good luck!

    My niece thought it'd be funny to knock over my rain buckets :( Made pasta  today with organic tomatoes, onions, and jalepenos. Also used some basil from my own basil plant. http://www.donalskehan.com/recipes/marthas-one-pan-pasta/

    Set up some rain buckets a couple nights ago and they're filling up quick. Not sure what to do with all the water. @.@ Made some vegetarian stir fry with organic and locally grown mushrooms, brocolli and green onions. The 5 minute shower was tough

      That's a brilliant idea! I planned on botteling it and using it to water plants and  such but  the more uses the better

      You could flush your toilet with the rain water, rather than using the toilet tank. Just an idea.
