I am so sad. Learning more and more about american recycling i realise that i can't recycle as much as i was used to in my homecountry. I did so much wrong... And contaminated the recycling. I am so shocked that my garbage bin is going straight to the landfill. And it will be there for up to 500years. I really want to reduce e my waste. Now more than ever.

The easiest task for me is to cook locally sourced meals. I love going to a farm with my kids. Feeding goats, admiring cute bunnies and buying local and seasonal veggies and fruits. It is so much fun for the kids and it tastes so good. What is more, My 2 year old started to eat more veggies. Win win and win!
