What have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?
Today I went on a walk for about an hour. I did it at a park near where I live. It was a good day for a walk outside, very sunny with moderate temperatures.
Earlier today I managed to spend about an hour outside at a park. I think it's good to be in nature often. Nature can help calm you in a therapeutic way. Spending time outside has a funny way of changing your perspective on the world around you.
I find some of the toughest plastics to reduce are plastics that come attached or built into crucial products that have no plastic alternatives. Such as electronic plastic housing, plastics attached to cooking utensils, and plastic attached to furniture to name a few examples. These plastics are pretty much impossible to reduce on an individual level. The corporations must reduce the plastic in these types of products to make a difference. Some of the easiest plastic to reduce are single-use plastics such as bags and bottles.
