Tonsillectomy; age 4. A couple others that I’m not sure constitute surgery (e.g. wisdom-teeth removal.)

What are your daily habits?
View all responses

The only optional activities I do every day are: reading, writing poetry, overhead hanging, and handstanding.

[Obviously, there are non-optional transport, hygienic, homeostatic, and metabolic maintenance activities: e.g. the breathing, peeing, pooping, walking, eating, toothbrushing, washing, etc.]

Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?

I don’t use powered transport for travel under 2 or 3 miles (i.e. 4km) [unless dictates require I not show up as a sweaty mess.] I do all my usual errands (e.g. grocer, barber, etc.) on foot. I’m assuming the “sustainable” is being used in the environmental sense.
