    I think finding a hobby you really enjoy like gardening, music, or journaling are great alternatives to buying more things. It can be difficult because it seems like we're surrounded by ads all the time but I think it's important to practice things that bring you real joy.

    Woo hoo we're planting 10 coast live oak trees around campus today!  The leaves are dark green, oval with sharp fibers.

    In the U.S., we throw away about 100 billion plastic bags a year. That's a lot of bags! And only 1-3% of those bags are recycled.  I think using a reusable bag is one of the easiest ways to say no to single-use plastics.

    How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?

    I grew up in a household where very little food was wasted. I try to be conscious of this every time I shop and prepare meals. The 'best by,' 'sell by' or 'use by' terms refer to quality standards made by the manufacturer. They aren't linked to safety for foods. Manufacturers use food labels to show when the product is at its peak for best flavor. A 'sell by' date tells the retailer how long to display the product, and a 'use by' date is the final date the consumer can use the item while it's at peak quality.
