Hey everyone, a very Happy New Year to all of you!
One of my New Year's resolutions is to finally beat my anxiety issues, which I found out might have a lot to do with my feelings of powerlessness. Actually it's more complex than that, but that's not the main point, so I won't dwell on it.
Long story short, I want to start doing more for the environment. That way I'll contribute to a better world, while fighting my aforementioned feelings of powerlessness; everyone wins!
However I'm at a loss as to what I can do exactly. I could do some research online, but I risk exposing myself to facts and/or factoids about the whole thing and relapsing badly because of it (this is also one of the reasons why looking for vegetarian/vegan recipes and tips is a major pain in the butt. I eventually gave up all together). And that is the last thing I need right now: If I want to start making a positive, healthy difference in the world, I can't be all negative about it!
So I ask you, the fine ponyfolk of the TP: what do you do to protect the environment? Do you have any tips for living in the greenest way as possible (or to work towards it)?
Thank you all so much!
P.S.: You'll notice I'm not addressing any particular environmental issues by name, or going into detail about anything relating to them. This is intentional, as I'm keeping my anxiety triggers to a minimum. Please take this into account when responding!
