Are You Really Going Zero Waste?
As concerns over a looming climate crisis continue to grow, many people have begun attempting to live a much more sustainable lifestyle, known as “zero waste.” The mission for any person interested in zero waste is to create as little waste as possible in their lives, which includes things like forgoing single-use plastics, composting almost all food waste, and even making their own natural detergents and cleaners.

Organising Space
There is just so much going on in our modern-day lives! Work deadlines, professional duties and social commitments. Family obligations. Those domestic tasks that are irritatingly necessary (groceries, cleaning the laundry). Our attention is needed everywhere. On top of all that we have the general admin of living, including monthly bills, filling out tax forms, and preparing for retirement.

Ways to Earn $600 per Month
So it's taken me a while to find additional earning opportunities to bring to you. I space out my posts so to find the best earning options, but it takes longer to find the good ones. The reasons I use these sites are for an early retirement, paying unexpected expenses when they pop up. This for making a stand for what I saw growing up, being homeless, wanting more, knowing you can do it, is a feeling that is amazing. Getting closer to this goal is like watching a child grow, you need to feed, clean and teach yourself the fundamentals. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't believe it is possible. Getting closer and receiving small increments of cash is uplifting, and says you know what that kid is doing his thing. Follow me I will get the world to a better state and have hope.

When You're New at Reducing Waste
Using reusable bags. Purchasing reusable bags has been one of the biggest game changers for me. A lot of times when I go grocery shopping, I go alone, even if my haul is relatively big. Because of flying solo, the thought of carrying anywhere from 11 to 35 plastic bags into my apartment, is genuinely exhausting, and the risk of paper bags tearing at the handles, has me running in the opposite direction. Ruling out the two options at the store leaves me with my trusted reusable shopping bags. Not only are they considerably sturdier, they tend to be a lot bigger in capacity than those at the store, meaning less trips back and forth to my car, and an overall easier night of grocery shopping.

Go the Extra Mile with Your Book Club
So you're thinking about starting a book club. Maybe you've already got a book in mind, or a group of people in mind. Book clubs can be a great way to meet new people, or to connect with people you already know, and give you a great excuse to keep in touch with your friends, and a great excuse to make time to read. Maybe it's been a while, though, and you're not sure where to start. There's a lot to consider, after all, and you don't want your book club to fall apart before it even has a chance to form.

How to Break a Car Window in Case of Emergency
You're pinned in a back alley by half a dozen goons who have your wife and daughter in the back of their black SUV. You wait for a lull in the hail of bullets, then step out and put one round in each of them. Just as the last bad guy is going down, his gun goes off, and sparks from the bullet set the car on fire. You're out of ammo and your family is trapped in the burning vehicle. You've got to think quick. Yes you could snatch up a fallen weapon and shoot out the window, but if you want to make sure those inside are kept safe, you need to dig a little deeper into your bag of tricks.
