Survey #207 Response from PJ

| Which of the following statements best describes your living situation? | I have no (human) children. |
Please complete the following statement:
| ... my endless curiosity ... my collective spirit ... my sense of whimsy ... my attachment to things ... my nostalgic nature ... my love of colour |
| What environmental or social issues most concern you with respect to your efforts to declutter, organize, and maintain your home? | A documentary I watched did an "archaelogical dig" into a landfill, and found that newspapers don't degrade between the layers of landfill plastic. They also found perfectly-preserved school uniforms (polyester) from the 1980s that could honestly just be washed & would be good as new. It was terrifying - our cast-offs will persist long after we are all gone, even the ones we think will degrade away. I am super conscious about plastic, replacing it wherever possible, reusing & recycling, donating items, and keeping what comes into the house at a bare minimum. Supermarkets are the worst - they wrap individual fruits or small numbers of vegetables in layers of plastic which is ridiculous, so I buy loose produce & take my own bags. I've also found a charity shop that will recycle ("rag") old clothes if they can't sell them - so at least the fibres are being used again and not going into landfill. |
| What outdoor activity or activities tend to take time away from your indoor chores in the warmer months? | just being outside in the warmth of the sun! it's wonderful to feel the sun & the breeze, & listen to the birds after months indoors. Have to get up early to do the indoor chores, then do the outdoor chores while it's getting warmer, then I can relax in the afternoon as a massive reward with a coffee, puzzle book, snoring dog, and comfy pillow. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). | how do other listeners stay motivated to do indoor chores when it's nice outside? my sister deliberately invites people over, so that she has to do the chores first. does anyone do anything like this? |
