Cleaned up a syringe from my parking garage. Unfortunately it's not the first time I've done that, but better to dispose of it properly in a sharps bin than to leave it in the street.

REFLECTION QUESTIONEducation & Livelihood Work-Life BalanceHow does practicing a work-life balance create a more sustainable life for you? How might it contribute to sustainability more broadly?
Cas Casados 4/25/2023 9:44 AMIn a simple way, I purchase less. When I'm working crazy hours, I purchase much more stuff (extra food out-- not my best choice-- when I don't have the time to make it, stuff that just makes me feel better, subscriptions for zoning out because I'm too knackered to do anything else, etc.). -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEconomy & Communities Mend ClothingWhat was it like to mend your clothing? If you are skilled at mending, what tips do you have for others?
Carola Eklund 4/23/2023 10:04 PMI went into a mending spree :-) ...not that I am skilled at this, but I can fix a hole in a sock :D. Even though it's as mundane as fixing a hole in a sock you feel good about being able to wear that piece of clothing again and didn't have to throw it out. -
