    Recycling pots from plants bought at last week's farmers market. The grower said the pots have increased in price, so tomorrow I'll be returning her pots along with a massive stack that I've accumulated over the years in my green house. Reusing is even more energy efficient than recycling.

    Exciting new study out of Loma Linda University Health! By replacing beef with beans, Americans could immediately meet up to 75% of targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions!

    Sharing plants with neighbors - priceless. Working in the garden - therapeutic. Being accountable for this tracking - brings mindfulness to a new level.

    Repurposed greetings cards to make "new" cards to share with others. Fun way to keep sharing.

    So very satisfying, on so many levels, to plant and grow your own food. Compost from last year is lovingly supporting this year's plants.

    I reuse paper bags in my office and it is fun to see the variety of bags that patients bring in. I also take my plastic air "cushions" (that come with office shipments) to Pak It Rite, who then uses it again for packing.

    Being more reportable for 20 minutes less of screen time is sobering. Sneaky little activity that it is!
