I am saving lightbulbs to be disposed of at a lightbulb recycling center. It is quite out of the way because I travel by bus, but I don't want to contribute negativity to waste.

Kari Beal 4/16/2026 6:58 AMWalking to the bus today with my 4-year-old, we saw a wrapper on the ground and she pointed to it saying “that’s not good for the planet’s future.” I asked her what she thought we could do and she said “put it in the garbage.” So I picked it up and brought it home to put in our garbage bin.
“Easy peasy” -

Liz McGee 4/15/2026 5:46 AMHave been thinking about this alot as of late, but to me, resilience means adapting to environmental change, and the ongoing effort to look after our environment.
