Adrien Pacheco 10/22/2019 3:29 PMI have saved on plastic by having one cup at my desk for drinks and packing my own coffee, tea and getting water from the fountain. Also, it has been my personal goal to pack lunch every day in a re-usable container that is healthier and organic. This has also help me save money and we all know saving money is a good feeling.
I have been getting out more and have been more active by taking my kids outdoors and going on daily walks around the neighborhood, we've also made a few new friends, imagine that (a dog made it easier)! Meet Dizzy below.
Before bed I have been getting back into books that can teach me a thing or two about life and my personal interests. My current read is "The Greatest You" by Trent Shelton and I highly recommend it for anyone trying to find purpose outside of work.
