It is common to feel overwhelmed by the obstacles of life, causing strong emotions in adults and children. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stress can be a main factor in physical and mental health, resulting in changes in appetite, energy, desires, and interests; worsening of chronic health problems; increased use of tobacco, alcohol, and other substances; difficulty sleeping, and much more.
During times of extreme stress, many even find themselves stuck in suicidal thoughts. However, you are not alone. There are resources to help tackle these negative outcomes, thanks to a variety of mental health resources throughout the tri-state, including New Jersey’s 24-hour mental health hotline services, which are available to anyone and everyone:

It’s not the law yet, but it might soon be as a group of legislators just presented Intro No. 1003, which would require corporate-owned fast casual food establishments in NYC to offer consumers “the option to request reusable food packaging and participate in a system for return of the food packaging,” according to an official press release.
The “Choose to Reuse” bill would basically mandate the Shack Shacks and Chipotles of New York to only offer one-time-use utensils and containers upon request, opting instead to serve their fare in reusable containers that would allow for less pollution all around.
“Single-use plastics are littering streets, clogging water supply, entering human blood streams, piling up in landfills and crucially, contributing to climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions,” reads the press release. “In the U.S. 561 billion disposable food service items are used every year, resulting in 4.9 million tons of waste. In recent years, packaging marketed as biodegradable or compostable has been positioned as a solution, but in reality those single-use solutions contribute to climate-warming emissions and waste. And while NYC is taking steps to increase access to citywide residential composting, organics processing centers in cities across the country will no longer even accept packaging marked as “compostable” because it contaminates the compost and cannot truly be degraded into organic material.”
Even more specifically, re-usable products emit less greenhouse gas than their disposable counterparts, a fact that might actually help the city reach its climate emissions targets a bit more easily and swiftly.
“This bill is a significant step toward a more sustainable and responsible food service industry,” said Manhattan borough president Mark Levine in an official statement. “A less polluted, more resilient New York depends on innovating in every industry so that we’re relying on fewer single-use products. If eating with reusable materials is the norm in our homes and sit-down restaurants, there’s no reason it shouldn’t be in corporate-owned fast casual restaurants.”
Given New York’s overall disposition towards all things sustainability, this new effort certainly fits the character of the city. Here’s to hoping it will actually turn into reality.
In the meantime, we suggest you perhaps learn how to compost, recycle and basically get rid of anything in NYC. We all have to do our part, after all, right?

Having a dog in a city of 8.5 million people and the skinniest apartments is a bit counter-intuitive but we New Yorkers have a soft spot for four-legged pals. No matter where we live, we’ll want to share it with man’s best friend.
From the city’s best dog parks to dog-friendly restaurants, we want to take them everywhere, but always it’s best to keep their quality of life in mind, even from the get-go.
