    Taking shorter showers is a good start on saving water, another thing I could do Is to plug and fill the sink with water while doing dishes instead of just running the water.

    When I am outside in the wilderness I feel calm and undisturbed and it is good for releaving stress. I like to go on walks into the woods and hear nothing but nature. It calms me down a lot.
