    Still looking for a diverse or locally-owned business that I haven't bought from yet. Living in Pine Beach, it isn't as easy as living in the city.

    One of the most important things I think I did today was continuing to use my own coffee mugs and other drink containers. I have also been making sure I turn off lights and use less water.
