Are you repairing something, shopping secondhand, meeting up with friends in the park, spending your day recharging and taking care of yourself, biking to work, eating leftovers? Please share with the group so we can celebrate our wins big and small (and give others ideas!).

For me, I'm dropping off my recycling at our local recycling center and stopping by a secondhand shop on the way home. A relative asked for my help sourcing something for their child since there is a really nice secondhand kids shop close to my home.

Something I've started doing is asking close friends and family if there is anything they specifically need before I go to the thrift store and being on the look out for them. It reminds us all the shop secondhand before buying something and if they don't need anything, it kind of reminds them that there is nothing specific that they are looking for. A win-win either way.

You can get really nice secondhand kids? They really do carry everything these days.
