A long time ago, society began to suspect that the government is watching us through our technology.
Is there really an FBI agent spying on us through our webcams? We may never truly know, but we can still make light of the paranoia through memes!
There are so many funny FBI memes out there but here are 5 of the funniest ones.
StableDiffusion
I mean, who doesn't love cold weather? You get to wear sweaters and boots and almost all of your drinks are hot! Who doesn't love holding a warm drink in their hands? Plus, sweaters -- you can not go wrong with wearing a cute sweater.
2. Thanksgiving Dinner
Does this even need an explanation? Especially after eating campus food for the whole semester up to this point. A huge home-cooked meal is never a bad thing.
3. Thanksgiving Leftovers
You can't go wrong with a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich. Start with turkey, add a little stuffing and cranberries, then dip it in gravy. So good! Plus, it's still home-cooked food, so you can't go wrong there.
First off, all of the holiday themed drinks are wonderful. I mean, I can never turn down a peppermint hot chocolate. Plus the holiday means Starbucks has their cranberry bliss bars and those are heavenly. Also, you can't help but enjoy the Starbucks Christmas cups.
5. Christmas Decorations
Christmas is one of my favorite holidays so I could go on and on about it but I won't. From the tree and the ornaments to the lights and the tinsel, Christmas decorations are always so much fun. Even the hanging of the stockings!
6. Christmas Music
Christmas music always helps create the Christmas mood. Especially when all of the new Christmas albums start coming out. I mean, Pentatonix already has their new Christmas album out and it's heavenly. Plus, you can't miss out on some Michael Bublé Christmas, am I right?
7. Christmas Cookies
It is always a wonderful tradition to make cookies with your family during the holidays. I have always loved being able to make Christmas cookies with my mom; the smell of cookies filling the kitchen and the house.
8. Christmas Lights
I have always loved going around to different neighborhoods and seeing all of the houses lit up with Christmas lights. Even back home there's a neighborhood that becomes Candy Cane Lane at Christmas and it is all lit up and beautiful.
9. Family Time
One of my favorite things about the holidays is that I get to spend time with my family. Everyone gathered around the dinner table and the tree. Playing games and laughing and just being able to spend time with each other.
10. New Year's Day
Even though the current year has ended, a new start is always good. It gives you a chance to look back and remember the old, but also look forward and enjoy the new. Plus the new year is just another new chapter in the book that is your life and who knows what that new chapter will bring.
I absolutely love refillable water bottles because they are cheap and the best way to stay hydrated anywhere. You can find them almost anywhere from CVS, to Target, and millions online. They range in price from thin plastic costing only a dollar or two to more durable stainless steel from about $7 and up!
Most adults drink coffee and/or tea on a regular basis so skip the plastic or styrofoam cup that will take up space in a landfill and opt for something that will actually keep your drink hot or cold. There are a variety of different types of mugs that can be found at almost any store. As an avid coffee addict, I love my stainless steel Ibex mug as it keeps drinks cold for 72 hours!
When wrapping snacks or leftovers for on the go opt for reusable beeswax wraps instead of plastic baggies, plastic wrap, or tinfoil. Although initially, the reusable wraps cost more long-term they will save money and reduce the amount of plastic waste you contribute. You can also find plenty of DIY reusable beeswax wraps.
Although most people probably have some type of containers for food at their house remember to use them even for things like sandwiches rather than disposable containers. I also really love glass containers because they are convenient if you want to heat up something in a microwave because you can simply just pop the lid off and its ready to go no need for a plate!
When packing a lunch or grabbing take out say no to wasteful plastic cutlery and opt for your own utensils from your kitchen or this little kits are a great option for someone on the go! I know personally, the point of getting takeout is to avoid dishes but utensils take virtually no time to wash.
Toothbrushes are supposed to be changed every three to four months, so this 4-pack should have you set for an entire year! These toothbrushes cost $15 on Amazon with free shipping for Prime members. They often come with charcoal which is an all-natural teeth whitener that will help your teeth stay pearly white.
Reusable shopping bags are a simple alternative to plastic shopping bags. I find that they are more durable and fit more so its actually easier to load fewer bags into the car and carry them inside. The durability also means no more ripped bags from sharp edges or heavy contents. Another great thing about reusable bags is you can get cooler bags so your cold food can stay that way even on the hottest of summer days and they can double as a mini cooler for the beach! Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and Homegoods also sell large reusable bags which I have used to pack clothes and other goods when moving in and out of college.
Try to limit the amount of food you throw out by keeping a log of what you throw out each week to help you better understand the right amount of perishable foods that is right for your household. If food does go bad before you have the chance to enjoy it try composting it in your garden. If you have a lot of excess food from a party you can even see if you can donate to a local soup kitchen. Another way to limit food waste is to be aware of expiration dates vs. best by or sell-by dates because you may be throwing out good food with this simple mix up.
If you have a yard or deck growing your own food is a great eco-friendly way to get fruits and vegetables. Not only will this save you lots of money it's also a great hobby. Imagine the pride you could feel while eating strawberries you grew instead of paying $4 for them at the store! For some great gardening ideas check out these easy steps for making a zero waste fruit garden.
Reduce the amount of time you spend driving by combining errands such as trying to visit multiple stores in the same plaza or close by to one another. You can also limit driving by carpooling with friends, family, or neighbors when traveling. If you have to run a quick errand such as picking up a prescription at your local pharmacy or running to the convenience store for one or two items skip the drive and walk or bike instead!
This is by no means an inclusive list of small changes you can make in your daily life that will benefit the environment but these are a few ideas to get you started. The internet is full of great ideas and you may even be able to come up with some of your own! If you can afford to choose products with eco-friendly packaging or shop at stores like Package Free. If more people made these little changes together we could make an enormous impact on the environment. Please share these list with friends and adopt as many changes as you can!
