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.

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...
