  2. For this blog this is very informant. I already knew most of these things although I have no idea what minimalist means. I also have no idea what live within the Comfort Kidney means. But I can definetly get a bike. I don't know what relaxing would do to help the environment but i like to relax so i will do that a lot :) Jasmin D

  4. as a athlete it is hard for me to lay off the red meat. what i could try to do is ride my bike more often to be eco friendly and for excersise.
