My goal to turn off the lights and TV when not in use has gone very well. I am much more conscious and aware now of how I use electricity. My goal to take shorter, cooler showers has also gone well. I am down to just under 15 minutes. My goal to eat less meat on the other hand has not gone so well. I did cut back to eating meat just for dinner but it took a lot longer than I thought it would. Its been about the last week that I finally reached that point. I think this is mostly due to my busy lifestyle. I don't have the time to find new receipts and options that are still easy and fast. I think for this quarter I will eat vegetarian dinners when I can but will not be working on my original goal of only 5 meat dinners a week. I think this is something I can revisit in the future.
Instead my new goal is to eat more organic and/or local food. I recently started shopping at Trader Joe's last week and want to check out some other new stores soon. This new goal will work towards reducing my food slice of the pie in a more obtainable way I think.
We also started composting. We set up a bowl in the kitchen to collect food scraps that we then dump into our compost garbage can that the city picks up. Its been pretty easy to do and is such a simple fix.
