I feel like if you're using a lot of disposable plastic bags in your day to day life, you've gotta do something sustainable to make up for it. Like using bamboo toilet paper or eco friendly cat litter or something, yknow

Honestly I exaggerate for comedic effect, while I DO routinely use ziplock bags to hold spaghetti I cook maybe once a month and the bag itself is usually for freezer storage. I actually throw out maybe one bag a week? I DO hate washing plates and tupperware and junk but that usually just means I eat sandwiches without a plate.

I agree though that needless waste should be avoided, and I do avoid it- biodegradable bags and recyclables, empty butter tubs used to store leftovers, etc.

This said, though, not applicable necessarily for myself but for a lot of others- I feel that it's importat to remember that there are many people who legitimately NEED things like plastic straws, or catheters, or pre-packaged foods

And the idea that that's a moral failing that individuals need to personally make up for when a single billionaire blows out more CO2 in a long weekend than I will in my whole life on a superjet meet-cute in the Bolivian rainforest between humvee drag races funded by the river-polluting textiles plants they planted in a third world country to avoid EPA laws and give an entire village stillbirths and stomach cancer is an idea that those very same bigwigs have spent a LOT of time and money investing in planting in the public psyche.

Like- Glass bottles are infinitely recyclable, so why are so many drinks in plastic now? Loads of drinks manufacturers used to buy them back and clean them for re-use, so why did they stop? If they chose to make something out of a limited and environmentally irresponsible material, why is it my failing to track down a correct process of disposal for them? What if there are none in my area? Do I lobby for more recycling plants in my area? Do I set aside some of my limited time outside the pain factory of my job- which I have more than one of, thanks to rising costs of things just like that drink I just emptied- to properly dispose of this company's waste FOR them?

Say coca-cola just rolled up to your town and started dumping millions of empty plastic bottles in the street, going, "wow, you should really think about building and staffing a recycling depot, it would be really shameful of you to just put these in the trash." When companies purposefully use materials with limited lifespans- because yes, even plastic can only be reused so many times- and tell you it's your own fault if it harms the environment- that's essentially what they're doing, just with more steps.

Yes, its important to be as environmentally concious as we can in our day to day life, but responsible sustainability is not catholicism. We don't get good boy points from our lord and savior Captain Planet every time the average low-income household gathers together to hold hands and repent for a single-use plastic that allows them to access something they need.

Entire families could eat trees and shit dead lithium batteries for years and still not do as much damage to the planet as an average dye plant or braindead celebrity does in a week just for fun, and I'm mad about it

...this went on longer than intended.

TL/DR: DO recycle and minimize waste, but don't beat yourself up over the little waste you can't avoid, and follow the money.

Gentle movements to live better

Here are gentle movements outside of my workout regimen that I've been incorporating into my life as a way of taking care of my body better :

(1) Morning Dance : I've seen that morning meditations do not work for me but this does! Dancing/shimmying/swaying to my favourite music right after i wake up makes me feel very energized and i get to set a happy tone for the day!

(2) Yin Yoga : Practising yin yoga every single night as part of my wind down routine has been helping me stay grounded. It's especially necessary to release your hips Here are my current favourite ones : yin yoga by the bare female and trauma release yoga session by Caitilin K'eli Yoga

(3) Legs up the wall : Doing legs up the wall 30 minutes a day has been a real relaxation spa for my legs! Since I do a lot of leg focused workouts, this move feels amazing for my legs.

Gymbro tip of the day: call yourself an athlete if there is a physical exercise you enjoy doing (no matter how proficient you are or how often you engage in it)

When you take on the role of something - such as "being an athlete," you will be more likely to engage in that thing. It's sociology 101, and it really can work. You are an athlete! Yes, even if you"just" do yoga! Take on the role and don't stress about your level of proficiency.

☆ Capitalism resembles a game of appearances. Like a chess match, we play this game on an imaginary social hierarchy where we get placed with or without our consent. Our value is often determined by superficial factors such as wealth, attractiveness, racial factors, heteronormativity, and anything else that brings forth privilege.

☆ Over the next 19 years, the transit of Pluto in Aquarius will analyze and ultimately dismantle existing social constructs. Pluto, the planet of transformation, rebirth, and regeneration, will be in the sign of Aquarius, which embodies innovation, humanitarianism, and the collective consciousness. Are you ready for change?

⋆˙⟡Preparation: Pluto in Aquarius

☆ Pluto in Aquarius transit encourages you to embrace change and stay open to transformation. Here are some steps you can take to facilitate a smooth transition-

1. Embrace Change: Acknowledge that transformation is inevitable. Stay open-minded and adaptable to new ideas and perspectives.

2. Reflect on Social Constructs: Consider the societal norms and structures in your life. Identify which ones no longer serve you and think about how you can contribute to positive change.

3. Cultivate Innovation: Engage with new technologies, ideas, and ways of thinking. Explore creative outlets and innovative solutions in your personal and professional life.

4. Focus on Community: Strengthen your connections with others. Get involved in community-focused activities or humanitarian efforts that align with your values.

5. Educate Yourself: Stay informed about important social issues and community innovations. Knowledge can empower you to become an effective advocate for change.

☆ Lastly, remember to stay grounded. Engaging in grounding practices that help you stay centered, such as yoga, nature walks, or other forms of physical activity, can be highly beneficial. Additionally, developing your emotional resilience will equip you to handle challenges more effectively. Practices like mindfulness, meditation, and journaling can help you process changes more smoothly.
