    Helping my son learn the value of money through work ethic and recycling. Teaching him we need to recycle. At home we separate trash from recyclables. Apart from that, I also have him bag up the aluminum cans, so at the end of a couple of months he can get rewarded by selling the aluminum. It is not much, but the combination of recycling and selling the cans provides the satisfaction of doing your part and getting paid, although not much, for the work he puts into separating the aluminum.

    Ended up buying a hybrid car vs a fully gas car. And I love it.

    Found different hybrid options and what charging ranges are. What i like and how they're rated. Found federal and utility incentives for new EVs.

    Look for more opportunities for electric or green vehicles. Advocate and look at purchasing. When one starts to do it, other will follow.

    Using teams and zoom for meetings instead of traveling is easy and convenient.
