Promise in the Pandemic Problem: Sustainable Living

 The pandemic limitations hold potential for making our lives more sustainable--how can we do that?

Vegetarian cooking and eating

A plant based diet is better for the environment--choose locally or home-grown veggies for your meals is the best path to sustainable living. 

Composting

Cooking and eating vegetarian is a regenerative lifeway since those table/cooking scraps can mostly be tossed right into the compost heap and used again in the future for rich garden soil. 

Repurposing and reusing

Making the time to organize your home, identify what's in your home, and then reuisng and repurposing items will save you money and save the adding unnecessary objects to the landfill.

Pick up litter as you walk

Combining your exercise routine with picking up litter is a win-win for your community and your health.

Less packaging

Use reusable bags, avoid plastic bags as much as possible, and order products that have less packaging.

Stay at home

Making homes warm and welcoming gives you less need to travel from home thus saving the pollution cars and other transportation cause. 

Bike, boat and hike

Traveling by bike, boat, and hiking is healthy and Earth-friendly

Share your talents and skills

Rather than ordering out or hiring others, find ways to share your talents and skills with loved ones.
