    I really wish I could walk to more places here in Honolulu. In Europe we have a big walking culture but here, everyone drives everywhere and the cities infrastructure is adapted for the cars. So when I've tried to go for a longer walk or run here, more then half of the time is spent waiting at traffic lights.

    I have saved all of my cans and bottles and want to recycle them. In Sweden almost every single grocery store has the ability to recycle, but not here. I have to go on the bus for 30min to the closest recycling place. Not having easy access to recycling places does not promote recycling unfortunately.

    This week my Needs vs Wants was pushed. My headphones partially broke, so I want a new pair but I don't really need a new pair because they still work okay-ish.

    Went to a new thrift store today, I prefer to buy my clothes second hand to avoid the huge environmental impact the manufacturing of new clothes have. The store also had 50% off everything so win for the environment and win for my wallet.
