According to the Sierra Club, we cut down up to 110,000,000 trees per year for various goods, including paper, toilet paper, and paper towels. Many of these items are single-use, used just once before ending up in a landfill. And it’s not cost-effective either, with many Americans purchasing these goods on a regular basis. When we begin to …
Every day, something shifts around 3 p.m. My thoughts are jumbled, my movements slow, my concentration starts to dissolve into air. I sense the shift most when I try to write.

I assumed this was an ability that would …
