Sustainable: we discuss easy (and cheap) things everyone can do to help the environment

We can't all become off-grid, solar-powered electric vehicle drivers. But, that doesn't mean we can't do small things to help the environment. For example, we can cook fresh and not bag our groceries. We can shop at the thrift store and we can share and regift our old items. We can use laundry detergent strips and regrow our vegetable scraps. Easy peasy - and cheap! A win all around!
