    A mindful walk is about slowing down and noticing, letting the world around you and the rhythm of your body bring you into the present moment. Mindfulness is the practice of paying full attention to the present moment, observing your thoughts and feelings. It’s about being aware, not reactive.

    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?

    I'd rather put this money into getting solar panels installed. It's just a smart financial idea.

    What have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?

    I have noticed that I have been slowing down on my walks, looking around alot more! I have enjoyed the peace it brings. I am gonna start to collect cool things on my walks like rocks and now the falling leaves!

    How could you incorporate other "Rs" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "Rs" make you feel?

    Makeup! I reused a mascara wand and have been using it as a mini brush to gel back my baby hairs! I love it! I feel funny using an old mascara wand on my hair, but it does better than other combs I've used before.

    Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How does your eating experience differ when practicing mindfulness?

    I feel like I have been chewing my food better and even recognizing more flavors. I feel full faster in a way as well.

    I visited Marina State Beach. I was able to learn the names of different species using the iNaturalist app. I think I found a California gull?

    I miss driving a little faster BUT its safer to drive slow with the eco mode on my car. (Eco mode doesnt allow me to speed as fast)

    Many states and countries have advisories on eating fish. Find out what is advised for your region. Do you think your diet choices fall within these guidelines? What steps do you need to take to make sure that they do?

    After looking over the seafoodwatch.org website supported by the Monterey Bay aquarium I realize that I mostly fall into these guidelines. I will make sure I refer to the list provided for the west coast guide before I buy fish in the future. I noticed for the best green choices most of the fish come locally from the US or they are caught in other countries through environmentally responsible ways. My favorite of the green options are seaweed which I use in lots of dishes as well as rainbow trout which my grandpa would make dishes with a lot.

    My favorite vegan breakfast usually starts with something savory, like avocado toast topped with cherry tomatoes, hemp seeds, and a drizzle of olive oil. I’ll sometimes add a side of crispy hash browns for a little extra flavor and crunch.
