HP CORVALLIS

My two main means of commuting to work are driving (Single Occupant Vehicle), and cycling.  I find I am way more engaged when I cycle as there is nothing in the way of seeing and hearing others around me.  And because I can't really rush when on a bike, my pace is more relaxed.                                                                   ...

I can see more when walking

On occasions when I do use a disposable item (cup, eating utensil, etc) I try to use it 2 or more times. By doing this one thing I can cut my use of disposable items by a factor 2 or more. This one thing makes me feel like I am making a contribution, even though I still use certain items out of convenience.

I have been doing this for 20 years. In fact, I have a collection of water bottles from favorite places, like national parks.

Individually wrapped energy or nutrition / snack bars. I can also buy them in bulk without the packaging.

I live outside the city so my walks are nice and quiet, giving me time to take in my surroundings and enjoy the silence.

I always keep spare reusable bags in the car... Because I do forget sometimes or there may be an unplanned trip to the store.

I went to trivia with friends instead of watching TV at home.

Final harvest from garden this week... getting it all cleaned up and tucked in for the winter. Then make a plan for next years garden :)
