A Listmania! list by R. Penwell(Sacramento, CA USA)
The list author says: "A list of hobby ideas for my students to get you thinking about what to do with your time besides playing on your phone, sitting in front of the computer, watching TV, eating, gossiping and complaining. Our relationship with food in America is mostly so damaged. Learning to make food yourself is a satisfying, fun way to reconnect passionately with food. Taking control of you home with green cleaning and organizing makes for a healthier environment in which to thrive."
"Make your own cleaning products from a few simple ingredients found at the grocery store, hardware store, and health food store (or online). Learn how to make personal care products like soaps, lotions, and perfumes. My favorite: "kitchen facials"--luscious skin care from the kitchen."
"Jump start your farmer's market adventures! This book takes organic off the fringe and tells us why it has to become mainstream. You'll be grabbing your reusable cloth shopping backs and rushing to your local farmer's market to meet your local farmers (which is a fun and rewarding way to spend your time). Clean food for a cleaner life and planet simply explained."
"Pretty much foolproof gardening with little work and no weeding once you learn your yard (best sun exposure) and area's climate. Hooking up an automatic watering system is essential, I've found, because once the "soil-less soil" dries out, it actually repels water and roots die. If you keep it steadily and lightly watered, you'll love the results."
