I can't eat that many fruits and veggies. In fact, at age 66 I barely eat 2 meals a day. However, I am very healthy. Today, I took four bags of a friend's paper products and put it all into my recycle bin. The one thing I wish would have been focused on more is OVERPOPULATION. Can you add that topic top future projects/challenges? I also wish more cities would put the homeless to work cleaning up litter, sorting it and recycling. I know Albuquerque has one such program and it looks like it is very successful. Companies need to CUT DOWN on packaging waste--it is horrendous--and bottled water must come to an end unless there are dire emergencies. I didn't complete all of my challenges but I am determined to get my two-weeks worth of three happy things done.
Here are a few things I do to make a difference: I don't shower/bathe every day. Unless one is working hard labor jobs, sweating a lot and getting covered in dust and dirt. there's no need to clean one's entire body every day. The same goes for hair washing. I never send my yard waste to a land fill. I always take it to my local yard waste recycling facility. My husband and I have three low-flow toilets and still only flush every third or fourth time. I had one child. No one should have more than two children. LET'S TALK ABOUT OVERPOPULATION MORE!!
My profile photo depicts the amount of litter I picked up along a stretch of beach in front of our condo in Biloxi, MS in 2012. I did this every other day for a month while we were staying there and sometimes I would gather even more. It was rewarding but also very depressing. People looked at me like I was crazy. The other sad part was that there were no recycling facilities in the region so I had to throw away all of the recyclables. The second photo shows what I gathered on a different day.
