Everywhere around the world scientists and people who like to breathe are reporting fresher air and clearer skies. Everyone says that they want things to go back to “normal” but not everything that is “normal” is good. What if we could make things better than normal? During the Covid-19 Pandemic we spent more time with our kids, more time at leisure, more time reaching out and less time driving. Consider at the very least, organizing your to-do and shopping lists to tackle your errands on a single trip. You’ll save a little time, save a little on gas and you might just save the planet.

I’m just going to assume that you recycle because if you’re on this site you obviously care about people and their future. Many people don’t realize that their recycling companies don’t always take everything. COMPLAIN, when enough people switch companies, or even threaten to switch, your company will provide better service. And when enough companies provide comparable service it drives the prices down which means more people will recycle. This is good for your community and your world. Don’t take this the wrong way but recycling ins’t enough. Consider supporting companies that are using Earth-friendly packaging and recycled materials. While we’re at it, let’s also be the generation that puts an end to single use plastic bottles and plastic bags.

Food insecurity is a major problem and only getting worse as good people are getting distracted by all the changes in their own lives. If you are fortunate enough not to worry about your next meal then try to pass that feeling on to a family in need.

Local Mom and Pop stores are going out of Business. Online stores and giant franchises are taking over. Whenever possible try to get what you need locally and from businesses owned by your neighbors.

If you live in an area where it is currently considered to be safe then consider donating blood. If you have had Covid-19 then that is all the more reason to donate as soon as you can.
