Hello! I have a new earTHursday post to share with you all today and because of what is going on in the world, I thought it would be relevant to share something that has been really helping me out lately...

EarTHursday #6: “Consumerism Vs. Thrifting”
One of the biggest struggles with living a more ecofriendly lifestyle is not the physical shifts that we can make like getting rid of plastic in our kitchens or using more reusable containers. The hardest thing is to truly change our mindset--this is a big change because we are essentially shifting our view of the world and learning how to live this new lifestyle. One of the bigger mindset shifts that I've started to go through for the past few months is...
EarTHursday #5: “Petitions, Organizations, & Documentaries”
Signing petitions may seem like an activity that is ultimately not very impactful--it is easy to think that our one signature and our one voice cannot truly make a difference in the grand scheme of things. This may be true in some cases, but I still find that petitions have their uses when it comes to the environment. If enough people sign them, then changes could be made in policies affecting the environment as well as in efforts being undertaken to reverse the effects of climate change. Petitions can also...
EarTHursday #4: “Period Products”
Alright females of the blogosphere-the day has come for me to talk about how to deal with having your period and being waste-free at the same time!! Most people use one-time tampons or pads, which creates quite a lot of waste over each lifetime. However, it actually seems quite unnecessary to use these packaged products that you can only use once when there are a variety of options out there that could potentially last you your lifetime. I mean in the long run...
EarTHursday #2.2: “Salad Spinner Responses and Some Clarification”
I got some really interesting responses to my second EarTHursday post, which was about salad spinners, that made me think more about them and also made me want to discuss my purpose behind these posts a little more. So, here I am...
EarTHursday #3: “Tea and Other Drinks!”
People often talk about how it is important to use your own bottle whenever you go out to get drinks. That isn't the only thing I am here to say, but it is definitely of vital importance. Using plastic or paper to-go cups is something I consider to be an unnecessary waste. I also think… Continue reading EarTHursday #3: “Tea and Other Drinks!”
EarTHursday #2: “Salad Spinners”
Last week's EarTHursday post was the perfect first post because it was a successful change in my life that I made towards being more biospherically friendly. However, it also talked about a change in my life that was what I would consider to be a fairly major one. That's why this week...
EarTHursday #1: “Soap”
When I was considering what to talk about for my first earTHursday post, I wanted to pick something that would set the tone for how these posts will go as well as something that has been a total success in my life (this isn't the case with everything I have tried so far, but we'll get to that in other posts). I immediately thought of soap, because it is something I have totally turned around in my lifestyle and I love it!...
EarTHursday #0: “Introduction”
What's this? Another type of post on libraryinmymind?! Yep, it sure is. Now that it is 2020 I want to focus more on my writing, both for this blog and for myself. I've been toying with the idea of putting out five posts a week on this blog and the start of a new decade seems like the perfect time to start, so here I am. I've been worried in the past about...
Book Review: Ecotopia
I'll admit this review is a review of a book that I read for a college english class. I don't normally review things I read for school (mostly because I often don't like them), but since this is a fairly famous and modern novel I thought I would do one anyway. If you're interested in hearing about a classic utopian and eco-friendly book, then stick around for this!...
