Last Week’s Strategy
My strategy last week was to seek out humour and laughter several times throughout the day. It was surprising to me that how when you look for humour and laughter, you can find it almost anywhere! Despite the fact that I was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia last week, I was able to find humour in the situation.
The Internet is such a great source of humour. As Cate, from Keep Cate Busy shared, YouTube is a great place to find humour! I could get “lost” with all the humourous videos on there!
This Week’s Strategy
I am a keen advocate for protecting and preserving our beautiful world. There are many measures I take on a daily basis to ensure my carbon footprint is minimal. However, As Earth Day approaches, I am reminded that I can always do more. One area that I feel could use some improving is in the area of consumerism.
- This week I would like to focus on buying food or items that are made responsibly. Being that I live in Canada, locally farmed produce is hard to find this early in spring. However, I would like to pay more attention to buying organic foods and/or items that are not transported for long distances.
- For other products, I will try to purchase used items or items that are made with renewable resources.
- I will also be conscientious in limiting my consumerism. After all, the less I buy, the less demand I put on the environment.
What do you and your family do to protect and preserve the environment? As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions. In the meantime, I would like to wish you a wonderful week.
