Eco Friendly Things to do When you're Bored!👍

We are all going to get bored some time in the week, with a virus going round or not. If we were allowed outside multiple times in a day right now, the first thing I would say would be: go outside. Go to the park, to a national park even. When you're outside you will probably find something to do, and if not, get out a bin bag and some gloves(if you are for some reason carrying them around) and do some litter picking!

Yes, I understand we can't do that much now (and that most people wouldn't be bringing a bin bag and garden gloves wherever they went) so there are some other things you can do right now. 

1. Exercise! If you haven't heard of him (which I expect most people have) you can do P.E. with Joe [Wickes]. This is just a sort of workout every weekday that Joe Wickes streams at 9:00 am onto YouTube that keeps you fit and healthy. If for any reason you cannot get onto YouTube or something, there is other types of exercise you can do. For example, you can use skipping ropes. My mum is trying to buy some but they won't come for another month. You could also go out for a daily run🏃‍♀️ (however, that would count as your exercise outside for a day here in England). And you can just do anything that will get your heart rate up.
2. Of course, you can't just do exercise for every hour, every second of the day, so you need other stuff to do. For example, art. I know this is not some people's favourite thing, you might even detest it, and some people find it hard. However don't you think this is the perfect time to get better? No, I'm not forcing you to do it , that would be bad😂. Just for all the people who like art, that's what you can do! And you don't have to have fancy paints and pencils -because if you don't have anything like that you'd have to buy some and they usually come wrapped in plastic which is bad for the environment- you can just doodle!
3. Bake (or cook)! I have lots of friends who love doing this and show pictures of cakes and meals they have made, and I quite like doing it too. But, if you don't have an ingredient I understand that you might not be able to buy it so you might have to put baking and cooking on hold.
4. Play games! I'm sure we all have some sort of board game around the house- personally, I have many. And playing board games with your family uses less electricity than playing on a play station or whatever, and right now we also should be saving electricity.
5. And last of all, read. As I said last week, you can use Borrow Box to find new books to read.

Anyway, thank you for reading this post and I hope everyone has something to do now. I also hope everyone is feeling well!
