Eco-Friendly Things to do when you're Bored! Part 2

I've already written about this once, which you can read here, however I don't think that gave as good a unique range of things as it could have been. These things will be better now we're going into Spring and Summer, where we'll be more likely to head outside for something to do. So here is a better range of things you can do when you're bored:

• Create a menu plan for the next week. Not only is this fun when you find loads of delicious things that you think you'd like, it is also better because when you go to the shops to buy your food for the next week, you know the exact amount to get and won't waste any extra food.
• Do some gardening. My friend and I are volunteering in our local community garden and I've only done one so far, however it was very fun. We're cleaning out the weeds in the hope of soon making a wildflower garden. Wildflower gardens are very beautiful, and good for the bees!
• Just do your normal things - but make it zero (or very little) waste! For example: have a movie night where you pop your own popcorn and dress it yourself.
• Head off outdoors, and pick up litter on the way.
• Go shopping with your friends - but go to the charity shops. It's one of my favourite things to do, and you can find the craziest things in charity shops. On main roads, there's usually quite a few, so make sure to look out for them.
• Create your own DIY things. I'm considering rearranging my room around, and I wanted to buy one of those desk organisers, but I could easily create one out of things like old tin cans.
• Make your own paper. This one takes a few hours, if not days, to do - and you need quite a few resources to do it. So if you want to make paper, you'd have to get really stuck into it. I wrote a post on how to do it, which you can read here.
• Grow your own garden. This can be growing vegetables or your own little houseplants! Houseplants make homes so much calmer and friendlier I believe. I wrote a whole post on Growing Houseplants too.

Thank you so much for reading this post. I hope this was much more helpful than the first one I wrote! See you next Sunday.
