    The rainwater that flows down from my house must mostly go through subterranean channels, since there are no large rivers between my location on the Waterville Plateau and the Colombia River. Its also possible that some of it is sequestered in underground reservoirs.

    I haven't really thrown food away for quite some time, but composting makes use of some organic matter that people don't usually eat. While it takes a couple years for compost to fully be broken down, it can be useful as fertilizer quite soon, especially if enough high carbon plant material is added.

    The primary barrier is the fact that many events provide plastic water bottles, so its a lot easier to just use them instead of bringing along a reusable water bottle. Therefore, I'd say you just need to think a little more about that kind of thing.

    I'm going to explore Sauer Mountain this week!  This challenge has pushed me to explore my surrounding area and I am grateful.

    Everytime I write three things Im grateful, it adds stability, focus, and gratitude into my day. Also I complete this challenge in the morning, making me feel the slightest bit more accomplished before I start my day.

    Writing the three things I am thankful for every day increases the success of starting my day. Thankfulness is an awesome thing and thanking someone even for the smallest things goes a long way.
