My way of advocating for better food packaging is by only buying foods that have sustainable packing and loose produce. This has been one of the most difficult changes to implement in my life, but it is WORTH IT. Not only do I eat healthier/fresher foods, but I am also supporting local farmers markets. So many foods in the store are wrapped in unnecessary plastic wrap and foil- and most of the time we are being charged for the packaging! I decided to not pay for packaging and pay for fresher food instead, all while helping eliminate waste.

I didn't know how vital bees were to our life on Earth until a few years ago. Without bees, we would have widespread food shortages, among many other effects. The entire world would lose its color!
This year, I am going to plant a pollinator section in my garden with native flowers. I am also going to use only natural pesticides and fertilizer. I have already committed to buying only local honey.

I find myself much more at peace after a long walk with the dog.

Felt great to get a few bags of clothes out of the house and to someone who could use them.

Decluttering and then donating open up space around me as well as in me. Small things add up and lead to bigger things
