Cleveland Clinic Sustainability

I recently moved to a new home and got rid of a lot of items. Unsubscribing to retail emails, setting expectations for gift giving holidays (no gifts or non-material), and asking ourselves what we will really use are all helpful practices.

I saw a pileated woodpecker in our yard, as well as yellow rumped warblers. It was only the second time I have ever seen a pileated woodpecker, so that was very exciting. I am learning to identify more birds by sight and call.

Composting greatly decreases the amount of waste in my house. We use composted materials for our vegetable garden.

My local hauler is having a large issue with contamination.  I have been socializing with neighbors to make sure they are aware of what can be recycled.

Spending time with my daughter who is home from college this weekend is awesome we sat outside and just being present and in the moment no words needed.  also spending time getting to know our new neighbor what a treat.

New trail!!

I am more open to others 

it makes me feel good and I have less stress.

Yes I do.  Look into yourself you have to recognize gratitude in yourself before you can recognize it in others and then the rest is easy.

I use a reusable cup every morning and I also have a Yeti cup I use all day long. I enjoy both very much and it also saves on washing so many dishs
