    When walking I love listening to my own music on these runs. It’s one of few times I get to listen to a song I’ve been meaning to check out.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    Reducing your paper mail can reduce mental clutter as well as physical waste -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?

    I’m more concerned with how we are using the products and not reusing to reduce our waste. Not only that but finding more ways recycle our garbage and turn them into a fuel source or a effective compost.

    I’m familiar with composting. It felt great not having to worry about wasting what I ate. I plan on using my compost to feed my plants in my family’s garden. When I tossed my tomato scraps away into the compost it made me realize how a little can impact a lot

      A way for me to do this is by incorporating more recipes that call for certain ingredients that I can source locally
