    Let towels dry and wash them after three uses usually. Wash only full loads of clothes or run the dishwasher when it is full.

    My parents always told me "If you don't vote, don't gripe!" I passed that on to my children. Democracy only works if all voices are heard at the ballot box. It saddens me to know that some voices have been suppressed for a very long time.
    Participate! Demonstrations, surveys, petitions, letters to leaders of all ranks, and sometimes visiting the capital buildings and attending sessions.

    Is climate anxiety a new concept for you or something you have been following for sometime?

    Climate anxiety is not a new concept to me, but I am not following the topic either. I understand the why of climate anxiety and can appreciate the decisions that people are making as a result. That said, I want to be part of the solutions.
