    My trash has increased so much since Far West Fibers has closed and won't recycle clam shell plastics. Someday my kid will be potty trained and we can go down to monthly trash pickup!

    It's so easy to forget about all the trash we create by dumping it into the can at the end of the week. Reducing is the most important of the 3 R's: reduce reuse recycle!

    Simplicity Limit Social Media
    Social media is a great way to keep us connected with loved ones, makes us laugh, and helps us to learn new things. It can also take more time than we realize or intend to give. After doing this action for a few days now, how do you feel? What do you notice?
