Dare to Say No to Single-Use Plastic. Top Story - October 2019.
If you’re like me, the idea that inorganic, non-biodegradable, single-use plastics are somehow the go-to packaging unit is just illogical; almost as illogical as seventeen states in our country having statewide ban preemptions or preventative measures restricting even the possibility of future bans of their use. As crazy as it may seem to some of us, we are still the ones allowing it. Therefore, the purpose of this article is not to place blame, rather, the purpose of this article is to establish personal accountability. Corporations use plastic because it is durable, inexpensive, and accepted by us all.

Custom Chinese Takeout Boxes Are Used for Different Purposes
The food industry has witnessed many innovations in the past few years in terms of the variety of tastes of the food, the emergence of a large number of food chains and the packaging of the eatable items—earlier food used to be consumed as soon as it was cooked. But now, people prefer to take food to their homes or order it through online services. Hence, there is a need for such containers that supply the food in such a way that its taste and quality are not affected by the harms and pollution of the external environment. Chinese takeout boxes are considered as the most viable option in this regard. History is evident in the fact that the traditions and culture of China are extraordinarily innovative and artistic in approach. These containers exhibit similar zeal and enthusiasm. They are manufactured with the help of lightweight paper material. The material is folded in a specific manner to give them the shape of a proper encasement. Although they are light in weight, they are incredibly durable and sturdy to maintain a constant temperature and preserve the food items from any corruption or contamination. They are also elegant in their display and are instrumental in enhancing the shelf value of the items packed inside.

Some College Life Hacks That Every Student Needs to Know
One way or another, we all know that being a student is more like handling plenty of tasks at once. In this era, the term "student" refers more to the multitasker than an academic learner. Yes, this may sound weird, but in the end, the legitimacy of this reality can be measured on the ratio of 10:10. In short, students these days have been burdened extensively with multiple duties that the factor of liveliness has been lost somewhere.

Our Go-to Money Saving Links
My husband and I try to stick to a very strict budget since we have chosen to travel full time. I am always looking for ways to save money, or get money back on excursions, spa deals, wine tastings, etc. When we sold everything and moved to Mexico in 2017 we were 100 percent debt free. Sadly, now that we are back in the US, that isn’t the case anymore. We own our condo in Mexico outright, but we have a mortgage on our condo in Lake Ozark. We use both as rental properties to help fund our travels. My husband also has a military pension after 22 years in the US Coast Guard. These are our prime funds for traveling, so we have to stay on a budget as best as we can.
