Vote!
Voting is how we can tell the people in power who we want to be leading us and how we want to approach issues such and climate change and the pandemic. We have the faculty to put the people we trust and believe in in power, why would we not!? Why would anyone not fill out a ballot, however you can in your state? If you are voting by mail, make sure to send in your ballot by October 27th (to make sure that it arrives before election day). We all were blessed with individual thought and the ability to express it in our country, why would we not take advantage of that privilege? So many others can’t express their individual thoughts, but we can. AND WE SHOULD!
R Planet: Live Considerately
If you want to try going low-waste or vegan but are intimidated, don’t worry. Every small step counts, and the best thing that Raina and Rhema recommend you do to get started is to educate yourself and the waste management and recycling systems in your area. Once you know a little bit more about waste and what happens to it after it leaves your home, go through your trash and figure out where it is all coming from. Just being aware of the trash that you are creating is a huge step to reducing your waste! It isn’t about eliminating your trash altogether (or being able to fit a year's worth of trash in one jar) but being more aware of the impact that you are having on the environment. It is all about “PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION!”
