We checked the security cams because an alert went off for the cam in our (4-unit) building’s storage room. Our diagonal upstairs neighbor was in there doing something with her stuff. And brushing her teeth. With an electric toothbrush. No, there isn’t a sink in our storage room.

Individually, my contribution to the global greenhouse is tiny, but collectively we weigh heavy. I find myself turning my engine off in the drive-thru because I hate gas stations that much.
Doesn’t anyone else understand their part in this?
Turn off the engine. Roll down the windows and join the world. Or go inside to your couch and big screen and surround sound. Anything else. Please.
