I have not done a good job of noting daily actions, but I have been a conscientious human and consumer this month, as well as other months. I really do try, and actually "do" as well! 

There cannot be sustainability without balance, each requires the other. Balance is in the definition of sustainability basically, because a healthy balance of mind, body, and those put into action, makes for a sustained mind and body which will flow outward to those around you, as well as inward. 

at my daughter's dance in the park and a red tail hawk is joining in.  Great opportunity for the kids to see an hawk in action.  

Sounds fun.  Anyone joining this week's online adventure?

Got some time outside hiking on the Irvine project that's for sure.  Ran into an owl, rattle snake, gopher snake, and a roadrunner.  Lots of beautiful native flowers blooming too!  Made it up a nice size hill. 

Smaller portions are best for my mostly sedentary position while working. I tend to have less energy if I eat too much at one sitting as well.

A high meat diet can be harsh on the body to digest. All these high protein diets are not good for the planet due to all the farming involved, nor is it any good for our kidneys. That kind of diet can be harmful in the long run due to elevated protein levels affecting the kidneys, as well as the heart.

I have noticed a lot of trash on my daily walks actually. I bring a bag to pick up trash along the way. A new crosswalk on a main road near my neighborhood has made crossing that street much easier and safer.

I slow down and taste my food, plus make less of a mess.

Soup or stew or making a broth are some great ways to do so!
