HIG Manual Team Rocks

my mom owns a lighting store so i had her bring me home energy efficient bulbs and i replaced all mine with better ones.  

Zero waste cooking complete!

Watched Gamechangers on Netflix with my husband today. It was super inspiring and informative. Highly Recommend it!

I do accept the disposable one in the event that I do not have my reusable one with me. However, to avoid being in that situation, I keep my reusable bag in my purse with my wallet.

Since I became a remote worker, I have eliminated disposable coffee cups by using a reusable travel mug. Also, I no longer use bottled beverages. I have a reusable water bottle that I refill from my filtered tap. We always recycle our bottles/cans and cardboard.

I address all mail the moment I receive it. All trash is immediately put in a recycling bin and important items such as bills are filed for our records as soon as they are paid. I shop with the need/want concept in mind. If it's not necessary, I try to forgo buying it.

We planted a tree to commemorate our anniversary this year. Besides the physical health benefits of actually planting the tree, it is good for our spiritual health. The tree will weather many storms as will we during our marriage. 

One food choice that I actively make each year is to grow and preserve my own food.

What works best for me is the pyramid garden we built in the flower garden by our front door. I also maintain a few herbs indoor during the winter months. We almost always have fresh basil, chives, and dill on hand

I am part of an industry that allows me to work from home. The biggest challenge I face while working from home is staying "visible" to those in the office as well as advancement of my career. Recently, the remote worker geared website has started to list career opportunities that are remote to aid with career planning
