Shout out to my Occupational Therapist for:

Trading fun/weird facts with me.

Helping me out with using my metalsmithing skills to make myself ring splints and for being willing to combine the brace making stuff she has with the metal pieces I'm making to create what will hopefully be the perfect brace for me to wear while I crochet.

Never batting an eye at my weird goals or hobbies.

Listening to me!

I called my right arm my hammer arm today, and she not only accepted that statement but knew what I meant.

Already alerting the physical therapist I'll be seeing in late October to the fact that they need to work together to figure out getting me a wheelchair that fits better and that has a good back and cushion.

Trying to get insurance to start covering my compression wear so I can get properly fitted good quality gloves & sleeves.

Going down rabbit holes with me but also getting me back on topic eventually.

Making OT fun.

For not judging me for talking to someone else with EDS in the waiting room for like 20 minutes after my appointment.

Not being mad that sometimes IBS and/or ADHD make me late and for being understanding about the 2 last minute cancelations I had after I was covid negative but still struggling too much with fatigue to drive safely.

Giving me movie recommendations.

Lastly, for being great at her job and helping me meet objectives we set.

She's great even though penguin x-rays now haunt my dreams.

10 Easy Ways to Start Your Sustainable Journey Today

Introduction:

Embarking on a sustainable journey doesn't require a complete overhaul of your lifestyle. In fact, small, mindful steps can lead to significant positive changes for both you and the environment. If you're new to sustainability or looking for simple ways to make a difference, you're in the right place. In this post, we'll explore ten easy steps you can take right now to kickstart your sustainable living journey.

1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle:

The classic mantra holds true. Start by properly recycling items like paper, glass, and plastics. Before tossing something out, consider if it can be repurposed or upcycled. Reducing waste begins with conscious choices.

2. Conserve Energy:

Switch off lights and unplug devices when not in use. Opt for energy-efficient LED bulbs and appliances. Even adjusting your thermostat by a degree or two can make a difference.

3. Ditch Single-Use Plastics:

Invest in reusable shopping bags, water bottles, and coffee cups. Say goodbye to disposable utensils and straws. These small changes can significantly reduce plastic waste.

4. Choose Sustainable Transportation:

Whenever possible, opt for walking, biking, or using public transportation. Consider carpooling or investing in an electric or hybrid vehicle if it aligns with your needs.

5. Support Local and Sustainable Food:

Frequent local farmers' markets, and choose seasonal, locally sourced produce. Reducing food miles and supporting sustainable farming practices benefit both you and the planet.

6. Unplug and Disconnect:

Set aside tech-free time to reduce screen time and energy consumption. Encourage family or friends to join you in reconnecting with nature and each other.

7. Practice Mindful Consumption:

Before making a purchase, ask yourself if it's a necessity. Invest in high-quality, durable items that will last. Choose brands with a commitment to sustainability.

8. Compost Your Kitchen Waste:

Turn food scraps and yard waste into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. It's a fantastic way to reduce landfill waste and enrich your soil naturally.

9. Educate Yourself and Others:

Stay informed about environmental issues and solutions. Share your knowledge with friends and family to inspire collective action.

10. Get Involved Locally:

Engage with local environmental groups and community initiatives. Participate in clean-up events, tree planting, or sustainability workshops. Your active involvement can create positive change at the grassroots level.

Conclusion:

Remember, sustainability is a journey, not a destination. Each step you take, no matter how small, contributes to a brighter, greener future. So, start today, and together, we can make a meaningful impact. Stay tuned for more insights and tips on sustainable living from GreenLife Insights!

Just moved into a house that has an electric hot water heater and after monitoring the electric usage for a few days it became apparent that the hot water heater was driving the overwhelming majority of the usage of electricity. Our electric bill was on target to be around $130/month from usage alone (more for the customer charge), but after a few innovations we reduced our daily usage to where it's now set to average closer to $90/month for usage.

The temperature on the hot water heater was already turned down to the safest setting (120°F); you don't want to go any lower than this because harmful bacteria can start growing in the tank. In one previous apartment I lived in, the temperature was set higher, and we were able to lower it which saved about $15 a month.

Some of the innovations we made this time around include:

In the kitchen where there is a single faucet that you can turn to the left for hot and right for cold, we had been leaving the faucet in the middle most of the time, which was using a blend of hot water. We often wouldn't notice the waste because we'd just use the tap for a short burst of water, so the water wouldn't run long enough to get hot. But it was still wasting hot water, drawing it out of the tank to where new water needed to be heated. To address this, we started turning the handle the whole way to the right and we only ever turn it to the left when we specifically need hot water; otherwise we keep it the full way to the right.

I started using cold water for some usages where hot water wasn't strictly necessary.

I started taking cooler showers, going as cold as was comfortable for me, which in the summer heat was pretty easy.

In the long-run we've considered other innovations, such as adding more insulation along the hot water pipes coming out of the boiler, and also looking into potentially replacing it, such as with a heat-pump hot water heater or a solar one, both of which can yield huge savings.

We also considered getting a new showerhead with a detachable head and a setting that only runs water when you hold down a button. For example you can lather up with soap or shampoo and then only run the water to wash it off. This hugely reduces all water usage, including hot water if the settings are on hot. The cost of hot water with an electric hot water heater is much higher than the cost of water itself, so the savings on hot water alone by doing this can be huge. I'm not sure how much this stuff is going to save but I'm optimistic given that we seem to have already reduced our usage enough to save about $40 a month.

Even if you live at home with parents, or in an apartment where hot water is included in your rent, someone is paying for hot water. In the long-run, rent tends to go up as expenses go up so a lot of these expenses get passed on to tenants anyway, so you aren't necessarily just making your landlord richer by conserving: it can actually help to keep rents down for all tenants if you conserve hot water. You can also talk to your landlord about innovations like turning down the temperature of the water (which has other benefits like reducing scalding risk, which a landlord might care about because it could be a potential point of liability if someone is burned by water that was too hot) until it is around 120°F. In most apartments you can also just buy and install your own showerhead, most can be installed just by screwing off the old one, then if you want to take it with you you can just put the old one back on when you move out, or you can leave it for the next tenant to enjoy.

Something I don’t think a lot of leftists/environmentalists consider when discussing energy and climate and clean energy and all that is how we need to change consumption and upgrade production of energy. Because yes, wind and solar are better than oil and more sustainable. But there’s big drawbacks.

Wind and solar in their current state take up tons of land and other resources. This disrupts the natural environments and can sometimes be destructive to indigenous land in a manner not unlike oil production. And we don’t know how well we can maintain enough energy production in these manners without destroying the environment in ways other than global warming. We need better methods of getting clean energy. For example, solar glass on any homes with windows so materials and land used aren’t as high.

But still, that doesn’t solve things.

Electricity is a good thing. It allows us to stay more connected to the rest of the world, it powers important medical equipment and production equipment, etc. but we need to use it less. Make homes that manage heating and cooling more naturally, so you don’t need electricity for that. If the building isn’t equipped with that, employ the many electricity-free options for heating and cooling. Avoid using electric lights if you’re able. Use natural lighting from windows and allow your body to follow the natural circadian rhythms we had before electric lights changed it all. If you do need light, try non electric lighting, like candles!

Sustainable energy production is important, but how we consume it is too. We can’t live in harmony with the earth if we’re just trying to find ways to use its resources. We need to secede back to the environment, do things for it’s good above ours sometimes, because in the long run that’s the best for everyone.
