You don’t know how much you take until you step back and reflect on it– that’s what I learned today.

It’s 7 : 22  PM on day 548 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, publish my Disability of the Day feature, work, drink tea by myself, feed myself a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast, watch TV, tweet about my 21 For 21 Campaign,  continue reading Catching Fire – the second book in The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins – watch some more TV – exercising in between -feed myself avocado for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

Today I was having breakfast and suddenly it occurred to me how much meat I consumed before I went on lent (two out of three of my daily meals contained meat) I am not saying it’s a good or bad thing to eat meat I’m just saying now that I’m conscious of how much meat I ate I am going to be eating less of it when lent is over because I believe we can change the world by changing the way we eat think about it meat comes from animals those animals have to be fed, killed, packaged and transported all of which are processes that will inevitably increase our collective carbon footprint. Do you step back and reflect on how much you take from the world?
