REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Go Paperless

Reducing your paper mail can be such a freeing action to take -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?

Anna Froese 10/17/2018 2:27 PM

I love getting less junk mail. I already had a policy that I don't bring it into the house.

How do you practice self care?

Anna Froese 10/15/2018 4:22 PM

Lately it's with meal planning. I spend less money, am less stressed, and feel better when I take some time on Sunday to figure out what I'm eating for breakfast/lunch during the week.

Actually there are several minor chores I've added to my weekends lately that mean I feel better throughout the week.

I am thinking more about ways to reduce household waste. There seem to be a lot of products that I can buy to help me with that but I'm also resistant to the idea that using less plastic is an outcome achieved by buying more plastic.

I found an extremely fuzzy caterpillar today. I moved it from the parking lot to some bushes where it shouldn't be molested. I googled it and it was a Wooly Bear, which was a very good name.
