"I have horrible habits when it comes to turning off lights and constantly flushing the toilet. I just learned the phrase "if it's yellow let it mellow", so I am learning to think before flushing! I'm also trying to eat less meat overall but definitely trying to cut out seafood unless its locally and sustainable sourced. I also just moved to a new neighborhood so I started a running group! Through this I am meeting about 1 new neighbor (or more!) every few days."

    I think the coolest idea on here was meeting a new neighbor each day. I recently joined the website "NextDoor" and since then I have organized a neighborhood Tuesday running group, helped my neighbor trim her cats nails while she has a broken arm, and become the designated extra plant lady in the neighborhood. It's been so fun!

    I have to say, not eating seafood is hard. I seem to be craving sushi every day!
