Hair tie
It feels strange to write a note about a hair tie, but it also feels important. Oftentimes, people note that things like stainless steel straws will not stop ecological degradation, that we need change in our socio-economic system rather than small scale actions. I believe it is both, and often it is small actions that bring about change in systems. These small actions are manifestations of complex mindsets, philosophies, and our ways of relating with the world. I've been growing out my hair for more than a year and I wanted to get a hair tie. Most of them are sold in packs of many, and I don't need many of them. Some people find them on the ground, wash them and use them. I simply asked my fellow human at work if she had a spare hair tie. She mentioned she has many and is happy to share.
