Following on from my previous post, Contribution, here are 8 ways to collaborate with others, within community:
- Do something calming or creative to manage stress (walking or singing)
- Renew or learn new skills (such as first aid or preserving)
- Daily self-care to increase strength (like running or yoga)
- Cluster errands/task, when possible, to reduce consumption of materials/fuel
- Lend tools or time to help family/friends/neighbours with larger tasks
- Give rooms dual purpose to maximise living and storage space where possible
- Reduce energy and water consumption with solar bulbs, candles and rainwater
- Grow and make some of what you need or purchase locally from others
Collaboration weaves through our existence with many threads… together we are building a tapestry with our actions.
