Edible Bags

If you don’t already subscribe to http://www.mymodernmet.com, I highly recommend it. It’s been a wonderful source of creative inspiration and good news. Recently, they published this article about a Japanese businessman (Hidetoshi Matsukawa) moved to create better shopping bags (with a team of like-minded people). They produced bags made of (deer) rice crackers and milk carton pulp after Matsukawa learned that 14 local deer had died from ingesting plastic bags.

Let’s stop complaining about our problems (and each other) and DO something to be part of the solution (I’m telling myself this, too)!

Who Gives a Crap?

Costco shopping and the hoarders were back at it again. Hopped on “Who Gives a Crap” to order toilet paper and help the world. My friend Karen told me about them during the last hoarding phase:

  • 100% recycled paper;
  • They donate 50% of their profits to build toilets around the world (helping over 2 billion people thus far);
  • partnered with companies who help build sanitation systems and provide clean water

Coping and Thriving

These will keep you out of trouble.

4 days to Election Day. Covid is rising (again). Civil Rights protests are simmering. Lots of stressors out there, but keep your nose to the grindstone. Regulate for positive input and positive output will follow. I’m watching comedies, listening to mellow music (Jack Johnson, Johnny Nash, Alexi Murdoch) and taking in affirming podcasts (Marie Forleo is a great one)!
