    I can accomplish this by essentially hitting two targets with one arrow: by inviting a friend to exercise with me, or exercising in nature (hiking, walking) or inviting a friend to hike in nature with me (three targets with one arrow!). Doing something like that is a great way to create memories with friends or loved ones and bond with one...

    I think there's a lot of ways you can make your living space more energy efficient. I think a lot of people tend to think big, like windows, doors, insulation, lightbulbs, sealing drafts, installing solar panels etc., as ways of making spaces more energy efficient, but there are smaller, more inexpensive ways to make changes. For instance, you...

    I have lived in my city for most of my life, so my ties to my community are strong. I also have strong ties to the university in my community, as I was a student, am now an alumni and an employee. I feel like a deep knowledge of surroundings makes a place feel like home. I think that sense of home makes you care more about your community and...

    Practicing gratitude helps keep me focused on working towards a better world because it reminds me of everything and everyone I hold dear to me, and the world that they deserve. Emailing a mentor of mine from church reminded me of how thankful I was for her in my life, and when we choose to make decisions for a better world, its not just for...

If I lived in a place where I had more space to garden I would certainly use some of my food waste as fertilizer! I've been composting/doing the food waste thing for a number of years now (I grew up composting), and I notice that my...

    Love feel of the autumn chill in the air and the warmth of sun's rays on my face 😊

    Day 11. How is everyone doing? I'm getting into the rhythm of things.

    Meat takes a lot of food that could go to people instead and it is cheaper not to feed an animal. It takes away food that could be used for people who are starving.

    There is something about a sunny fall day that is just hopeful. It can be warm or it can be cold but it gives me an energy boost and makes me want to get things done. I know the wet and cold weather is coming which makes me cling to the sunny days even more.

    For simplicity you need to look at things in creative ways. Do you really need x, but don't have it? Then what can you use instead. It's trying to use items in multiple ways so you don't have to buy singular items for each task.
