This week I went to the store on my bike for some quick groceries. It was about 3 miles of biking but it was luckily a nice day out to do so, and saved needing to use fuel to go to the store for just a few things.

Because the session was themed on water, I was recommended to watch The Story of Bottled Water. The water I have always drank at home has been either fridge tap water, or filtered tap water, so it is good to know that I have no been contributing to plastic bottle waste, where I think the only times I've used plastic bottled water is when on long trips or camping with family.

Earlier this week, I went with my family on a 4-5 mile walk around the neighborhood where we walked up the street from our houses to where a trail was, and we walked along the trail for a while. It was not a trail I've seen before but it apparently goes through the areas around neighborhoods for quite a while. Makes me wonder what other trails could be walked around me as well.

This week, our family planned out our meals for each day of the week using cook-at-home food delivery services. With these we are given only the ingredients we need for the meals with enough to feed the whole family and/or have leftovers for another night, or reusing leftover parts of a meal with another. We will be doing this for convinces and not having to leave to the store as often as well.
