Sorted some of my plastic waste this weekend. I recently started volunteering at a local reuse and recycle center in my area and was inspired by the possibility of living zero-waste. While this will take a lot of behavior change and getting used to, it is exciting to see that it is even a possibility in my area. Spent about half an hour this...

Love the daily reminders. Helps me record my actions.

In my home state of Ohio, a constitutional amendment is on the ballot this November that would ensure the same protections for a woman's right of choice to how it was before Roe v.

Rehome. Reinspire. Reignite. Repurpose. Refashion.

By not over eating or filling up my plate I eat less, buy less and waste less. I recently bought myself a new dish cause we each have our own and my wife always would fill mine too much when serving meals so to eliminate the overage I just got a smaller dish.

The weather has been perfect for daily walks. Almost too cold but we love it. We’ve been going together once mom gets home from work and the kids ride their bikes and we just walk. Incorporating looking at infrastructure and the area around us in a new way has been fun and eye opening.
