Americans produce over 36 million tons of plastic waste per year, which is about 12.2% of all municipal solid waste (MSW) generated in the United States. Packaging is the largest market for plastic and the largest source of plastic waste. In 2018, over 14.5 million tons of plastic packaging and containers were disposed of as municipal solid waste. For more information about plastic and other kinds of MSW, visit the Facts and Figures about Materials, Waste and Recycling page.

Hello Dear Ones!
I’m working tirelessly to get an affordable and effective website up and running. My snag is with the “e-commerce” format and a payment. I’m flabbergasted how much such sites cost!! However, this year, I’m not letting anything keep me from trying, or equating challenges to negativity and failure.
So!!! I’ve posted mages for each store, which will redirect to my campsite.bio profiles. That’s my “official storefront” for now. Additionally, I’ve listed some really great Valentine’s Day gift ideas, should you need one.
Thank You for joining me on this crazy journey. It’s only the beginning; and, I’m looking forward to learning and growing. Please be aware, this post WILL frequently change. I’ll be highlighting new and amazing products. I hope you’ll return and take a look.
I appreciate you and your support beyond measure.
Every Tuesday, Devereaux Frazier and Beth Amanda are currently hosting the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge. Originally, Christine Ray hosted this challenge. If you’d like to participate, you will find all the details here.
Listen:
To the cries in the twilight hours,
Of the moms trying to be strong,
To the babies being abused,
As if their existence is all wrong.
To the boys being beaten, for
They’re trying to live their truth,
As are the one who struggle
Because of the molestation in their youth.
Listen to the smiles, deception at it’s best…
For secrets are so well hidden behind
All the “rest”…
Listen…

Someone just texted me that.
It’s crazy how fast words hit my eyes, then my heart, head, and soul at the same time.
Inspiration is so refreshing.
Anyway, what these three words said to me is
” You’re validated.”
” You’re hard work is paying off.”
” You are improving, what you’re doing is working.”
It’s encouraging to hear from another that they see what I’ve been working so hard to achieve.
It’s not about acceptance from anyone else, but that my efforts are evident and I can proudly smile in self validation.
….
I am happier. It’s true.
In my writing, I’m able to expose my ugliness and feel heard.
That, alone, is freeing.
You’re my therapy sessions lol, except I’m not paying a fortune, and limited to two hours.
….
I’m happier because of this job opportunity.
There’s more to that than what’s on the surface.
Ten years ago, I was a married closeted Bisexual, living in low income and ghetto housing, miserable, lost, and unhappy.
I had little confidence & very little pride in myself.
That year, I graduated with a 4.0 and a teaching license.
It was the being of my self discovery.
This job opportunity is the first one that I’m excited to start.
This is the first one that I feel confident to do, and to do well.
This is the most motivated and eager I’ve felt about a job ” EVER”!
MAYBE it’s because this job is career material, incredible in so many ways.
…..
I’m happier because I’m working on my emotions.
Being INFJ & HSP, AND EMPATH is exhausting.
There’s only a few of you who can possibly understand what I’m saying.
But, what I’m doing, and I just went through this process this morning, is being mindful and intentional about what I feel.
I was feeling so down this morning. I felt a certain way about an individual, and I didn’t like it.
Instead of sorting through why I felt as I did, I slipped insecurity through my fingers via text.
Then, I remembered I didn’t have to feel yucky. I realized I could identify what I do feel, remove the foggy lense, and feel ok.
…..
I’m happier because I feel some sense of purpose.
Making time to care for these free little libraries has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I’m able to demonstrate kindness to my daughter’s.
I’m able to use my time for a greater good.
I able to get outside, and invest into the future of generations to come.
This allows me to give to the community and not have to deal with coworkers and deadlines lol.
This also provides a place where I can place necessities for those who may need it.
…..
It feels good to feel this sense of self acceptance and identity.
It really does!

Behavior and practice influences brain learning 😀 This video is INCREDIBLE knowledge 🙂
Key Terms:
“Some of the most evil human beings in the world are psychiatrists. Not all psychiatrists. Some psychiatrists are selfless, caring people who really want to help. But the sad truth is that in today’s society, mental health isn’t a science. It’s an industry. Ritalin, Zoloft, Prozac, Lexapro, Resperidone, happy pills that are supposed to “normalize” the behavior of our families, our colleagues, our friends – tell me that doesn’t sound the least bit creepy! Mental health is subjective. To us, a little girl talking to her pretend friends instead of other children might just be harmless playing around. To a psychiatrist, it’s a financial opportunity. Automatically, the kid could be swept up in a sea of labels. “not talking to other kids? Okay, she’s asocial!” or “imaginary friends? Bingo, she has schizophrenia!” I’m not saying in any way that schizophrenia and social disorders aren’t real. But the alarming number of people, especially children, who seem to have these “illnesses” and need to be medicated or locked up… it’s horrifying. The psychiatrists get their prestigious reputation and their money to burn. The drug companies get fast cash and a chance to claim that they’ve discovered a wonder-drug, capable of “curing” anyone who might be a burden on society… that’s what it’s all about. It’s not about really talking to these troubled people and finding out what they need. It’s about giving them a pill that fits a pattern, a weapon to normalize people who might make society uncomfortable. The psychiatrists get their weapon. Today’s generations get cheated out of their childhoods. The mental health industry takes the world’s most vulnerable people and messes with their heads, giving them controlled substances just because they don’t fit the normal puzzle. And sadly, it’s more or less going to get worse in this rapidly advancing century.”
