5 Ways to Cut Down Your Plastic Use
Shows such as Blue Planet II have made it clear that our oceans are full of plastic, and it's time to do something about it. It's not until you think about plastic that you realise that almost everything you buy has some form of plastic on it that you're going to throw away. Your food has copious amounts of plastic surrounding it, your clothes have plastic tags, and that pair of scissors you bought is surrounded by tough plastic that actually requires another pair of scissors to open.

Reigning in Bad Bipolar Spending Habits
Bad spending habits can be stopped if you just sit on your money, and have whole days where you don’t spend a dime. As a low-income person, I have to save money every which way I can. It almost takes crazy money saving habits to new heights. I mean I can go to the store and spend minimum $15-20. I have spaghetti and meatballs I need to cook, along with crepes, because I have flour for those. I made myself a potato soup, which turned out well. My next soup excursion will happen after my Internet bill clears, and I have time to go to the store.
