My Plan
I was totally depressed by the results of the presidential election. I felt bad that I had not done more to help than to make small political donations and wear a cat tsunami t-shirt.
I don't have a lot of resources but after looking at my discretionary spending I decided to stop subscribing to Amazon Prime and Netflix. I will still use Amazon, but not having Prime will make me be more careful about my purchases and also make me see what I can buy locally. I can walk to my local library to get books and DVDs, and I can walk to a small grocery and a weekly farmers' market.
The money I spent for Amazon Prime and Netflix was approximately $25 a month, so I've set up a monthly donation for that amount to the ACLU. I will try to support the news sources I read when/if I have extra funds.
I'm walking more and that calms me down. I've put my name in for a small spot in a local community garden. I'm looking into making my own bread and kombucha.
Wish me luck. What are your plans?

And good luck on making kombucha! I thought about that myself but got a little intimidated by the process.
