How to Start Composting With a DIY Bin
I have been wanting to start a compost bin for years, but I wasn't sure if it was realistic since I have a shared backyard. I was under the impression that I needed a lot of space, and I was scared to try because I knew I would fail at some aspect of it. Finally, after reading the tips offered by successful gardeners on the internet, I decided to just go for it and figure it out along the way. I ended up creating a DIY bin for free, and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made!

Unremarkably Human
Remarkable. When most people hear or read the word remarkable their minds tend to wander to extremes. Even now, writing this, I started thinking of the most remarkable things to write or state. It was almost as though a latent narcissistic, social media driven culture had swept over me and made me want to write down something soo extreme and exciting or invigorating that I could have something that others may view as "remarkable”.

Feeling Natural
I would say that life during a pandemic has been slow and bleak but that would be far from true. I have grown up my whole life looking for something to do. Trying to make sure my time was filled up so that I wouldn't be home alone. Yet, the past few years has been a time where we all had to be alone. I would like to say that I learned more about myself but I'm not sure. I realized that I'm happy being home and with my family. Thinking of all the times I said I hated being home and "I'm so bored!" but now realizing that I was missing out on the simple things.What are the simple things to me? Painting, doing my nails, or just going for a walk is what makes me happy. I spent most of the time during the pandemic worried about what is life? I finally realized that life is good when you have love and spread love around you.I decided during the pandemic that I wanted to get back into my roots and find things that made me happy. One thing I was started to hate so much was that no one liked being together without showing off for social media. What happened to the times where people loved to laugh and chat together without everyone being on their phones. home made me realize how so many people live for constant gratification. By being home during the pandemic, I realized how much of a old soul I am. I found new and old music back into my life. I enjoyed writing because of the stillness of the world. When the world stopped is when my creative juices started back again. Being able to be in silence and focus on what truly matters.Not having to worry about what i look like or how superficial the world can be. I finally felt free from the judgement of the world and what people think! I would say I finally felt back into my natural self and I'm so happy about it. I hope that even when the pandemic is over and everything does go back to it's "normal" I keep the same mindset. I have felt like we all got a restart in our lifes because the world had a chance to relax. Hopefully everyone can at least come out of this with something that they learned or realized about themselves. Maybe you found a new hiking trail you love to walk or finally got to the Netflix show you have been putting off because of work. I hope in the end of this everyone learned that it's a great thing when people work together to help fix a situation going on in the world. That by being a helpful person to someone you can make a difference in the world. I love my new mindset that I gained during this pandemic and I hope everyone can love their natural state. The world needed a break to be in its natural state to grow and regain it's beauty. No more filters, fake beauty standards or online personas. I can't wait to see what the world as a collective can do to save the planet as it is our beautiful home. As humans, I have seen so many people doing great things and It makes me happy to call this my home. I can't wait until next year to see what great things we can do to keep our society great. The pandemic did help me realize the most thing and it is I'm so happy that I'm back to my natural state. gained during this pandemic and I hope everyone can love their natural state.

Winter
I was lucky enough to grow up in Minnesota! I love the beauty most of all. Waking up to the frost on the trees. The white snow covering the tree branches and the ground. I can hardly wait to see my breath when going outside. Knowing that I will be sharing this fun of winter with my grandchildren. They are happy to be able to go outdoors to play.

Stale Coffee
If decency were mainstream, there wouldn’t be an island of garbage in the Pacific. An intellectual would assert that such a statement be far too difficult to establish a correlation between such points, let alone, causation. This is precisely why we are ham-stringed by the scientific method. More precisely, higher education, aimlessly trying to fit everything into a neatly wrapped box worthy of future funding, gives rise to the real issue.

Use Less Plastic
According to unep.org, around 300 million tons of plastic waste is produced each year, and that around 60% of that plastic waste has either entered the natural environment or a landfill due to it being disposed of improperly. According to em-solutions.co.uk, 50% of plastic materials are single-use, meaning that after one time this harmful plastic already gets thrown away instead of being reused. However, the usage of this much plastic has dire consequences that could compromise the safety of our planet. The usage of plastic contributes greatly to the growing issue of climate change, and by slowing down the usage of plastic we can help prevent climate change from making our planet irreversibly doomed.
