    Being more aware and having specific goals is so helpful while at home all day and night.  I can add these tasks to my day and have a goal of completing them throughout.

    I take about 10 breaks during WFH and go outside in our back yard to either walk around, do some yard work, or just look at our homemade bird feeder.  We also take walks almost every day.

    With a bag of metal straws I am always able to class up my drink with a straw.  Smoothies with the straw are the best because the straw gets so cold!

    Made a homemade compost bucket from an old garbage can last week and have really enjoyed the satisfaction of not just throwing away stuff we dont use.  our favorite question this last week has been "is this compostable?" and googling it.

    staying connect keeps hope alive that things will get better and that there is norm different than the one we are in now

When I am outside, I am more keenly aware of myself and the spaces around me in a way that the natural and social environment become unified. Thus, I feel most unified and...

    Carson's quote definitely is true for me. I always feel a bit stressed and stir crazy if I can't get out into nature a few times a week. Just going outside and seeing the sun through the tree canopy, or listening to the animals and insects at night makes everything seems much more manageable. I believe that cultures that spend most of its time...

    Because I now know more about the labeling codes of food products, I can reduce my own food waste by knowing that food products are still safe and also look out for food products in grocery stores that will soon be taken off the shelf. My knowledge empowers me as a consumer of food in my home and food in the grocery store. I can now help others...

    My family has almost always composted as much as we can when we cannot use that organic material otherwise. It has always made me realize how much we would be throwing away if we did not compost because of the number of bits of produce we go through when cooking. We collect our compost in our kitchen and then dump it in a larger compost bin for...
