    Taking breaks. Everyone needs periodic breaks to reset and refocus.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Recycle Everything I Can
    What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

    Researching and remembering what isn't acceptable - for instance, greeting cards are not acceptable by my local curbside pickup. It looks like "paper" to me, which I associate with safe.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Plant an Herb Garden
    Consider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?

    A patio container is my best bet. I have one already.

      I just put my little raised garden to bed for the year. New England has a short growing season. I will miss gathering organically grown tomatoes, herbs, kale, chard, peppers and squash from my own garden. Well, maybe not the squash... sooooooo much squash!
