    I try to live on a one-for-one policy. For everything one new thing I buy (knick-knack/non-essential item) I will donate or re-purpose something I already have.

    I practice self care by giving myself an hour of every day to do whatever I want to do: read, cook, sleep, walk/hike, play video games.

    Giving people control over their food and overall empowering people through food sovereignty combats disadvantages forced upon minorities or lower class by modern food systems.
