I haven't owned a phone for a long time.

And I've tried to own no computer, but I found that it really impacted my ability to reach people.

So basically, I'd walk around with a computer covered in a shawl carrying a pot.

Okay, so I have about five key pillars.

First, this is not first necessarily, but composting.

Everything that can be composted, instead of putting it in the garbage can, compost it.

You can compost at home or now there's a lot of places that will actually pick up your compost.

Use your body to get around.

So biking, walking, skateboarding, whatever it is.

Grow a little bit of food.

Even if it's just on your balcony and it's some basil and some tomatoes, grow a little bit of food.

Yes, absolutely.

And so with that, I'm going to add forage a little bit of food.

Just learn one plant that's growing in your area.

It could be dandelions or it could be mulberries or blackberries.

And just do a little bit of foraging, connecting to the earth through foraging.

And that one note, well, I guess the next thing I'll say is I mentioned growing food.

Maybe you don't have any space to grow food and you can join a community garden.

So that ties into my next suggestion, which is break free from the very radically independent way of being and do much more in community.

Embrace a much more community way of living.
