Sending gratitude for another uplifting post. I believe in lighting a candle in the darkness whenever possible. The cave is still dark, but not so bad when you can stand in a corner with others raising their candles with yours.

I have a tip I discovered a few months ago. Two grocery stores on my normal route/s to work have recycle bins that can handle plastic bags plus various elements of packaging that my apratment's recycle bin can't take. I collect items in a recycle bag until I'm visiting one of the stores. It's astonishing to see how much builds up in short periods of time.

Also -- I'm systematically going through all products I use routinely, checking for packaging (replacing with sustainable whenever possible) and ordering as few packages as possible. Also stopped my pandemic habit of ordering everything from Amazon, which doesn't deliver in as few packages as possible.

Thank you again for your commitment to positive changes. You lit my candle this morning!
