    I start using less water in kitchen and bathroom, I also teach my kids to save the water. I plan to plant tree and buy energy saving bulbs. But for now I use less electricity also.

      Hello Laurie, thanks for reflection, yes, as soon as carantine finishes I will go to bazaar to buy a tree, and plant it near our block of flats, we live now, but in the country side there is a big orchard, my dad was a farmer, we have almost all fruits of CA, apples, cherries, apricots, plums, peaches, now my brother continues his work. my family is good at planting trees. The only think I am worried now, is the worry of too much plastic bags in our life. I try to take my fabric bag to shopping, but almost all products are alreday packed in plastic, so I have a lot now, and whne I throw it to garbage, my heart hurts, as I see it in suburbs on the ground, burning at big area.it is so depressing. It is smth our government should urgently take measures. When I lived at cottage house I burned bags, but it also creates bad, harful gases, but I think it is better then the plastic bag will stay on the ground for hundred years.

      Wonderful you may plant a tree with your kids and something will grow out of these times. If you plant the right species in just the right spot it might shade your house in summer and provide a wind break in winter - eventually! Saving energy!

    Hello All, it is a great challange, I like the idea of saving our planet. My country is suffering from air pollution, and plastic bags,bottles. I plan to conserve water I use in kichen and bathroom from this moment. When carantine stay home action will finish, I plan to plant a tree and buy energy safe bulbs to change in my home. I try to take my own fabric bag to shopping, from this moment,I will reduce the usage of plastic bags.
