    My estimated usage was 1,423 Gal/day, a bit below average. The vast majority is from "outside" sources: diet, electricity, shopping. I try to not eat much meat, I think this is the one area I have most control in. It should be noted though that some plant food sources use a lot of water to produce, too, such as almonds. There are so many things to think about.

    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    My husband and I go to the gym together, which gives us more time together. It's also so helpful to have help getting there/someone to be accountable to! Much more motivating to have an exercise buddy.

    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    I didn't have a good travel mug to use at coffee shops instead of a disposable cup, so I got a nice one that I enjoy using. The added bonus is that my coffee/tea stays hot longer, which makes me want to keep using it, so there is a positive feedback loop.
