Yes, I saw lots of different choices. The website I used gave me many alternatives on how to reduce my CO2 emissions beginning from my home. Some of them included turning up the thermostat in the summer and down in the winter, driving less to use less gas, recycling all recyclables, cutting down on the use of electric and gas, and a few more. All of these are definitely doable, it is just harder to make it more efficient while living with 3 other people because there's no way of knowing if they are keeping themselves accountable. That being said, I will definitely try on my own to be more aware of my footprint. 

Overall, I found that practicing mindfulness while eating had a huge impact on my eating experience. It not only made me very aware of my bad habits of always being on my phone while eating or watching tv, but it changed the way I ate as well. It's so easy to just continue eating while being distracted by technology and not even realize when I'm full. Eating mindfully helped me begin to put an end to these bad habits of mine while eating. I realized that I ate more slowly and felt fuller faster while eating mindfully. I also noticed after a few more days of doing the challenge that I paid a lot more attention to what I was putting into my body. Learning in class about the emissions of different types of meat and food really impacted how I chose what I ate each day. Overall, practicing mindfulness while eating has been extremely beneficial, and I definitely continue to do it more often now as normal.
