It can be hard not to overeat. You eat a healthy meal at home, think you’re doing well, then you head out (to almost any destination) and are surrounded by junk food. You get hungry, and pretty soon you’re at the local burger joint, diet forgotten. Or maybe you stick to the “right” foods, but they’re just so good that you can’t have just one portion. We’ve all been there. That used to be my feature writing on corruption . The following six strategies have changed the game for me — now I’m healthier, enjoy my meals more and my appetite is low enough that, if anything, I have to make an effort to eat more. 1.

We all have a shoebox stashed away somewhere full of fraying cords and ancient hardware from a different era. As tech companies pump out newer, sleeker, and faster devices on a year-to-year basis, it's only natural for certain devices to lose their luster or fall into disrepair. By 2020, Greenpeace estimates there will be 6 billion smartphone users, each replacing their phones every two years, on average. The waste from smartphones, as well as obsolete desktops and laptops, is already straining the environment in a number of different ways. Amazon offers gift cards for any old devices that still work and provides clear directions for sending in any items that no longer function. They have an easy-to-follow portal that prints a UPS shipping label for you to quickly send your device back. Smartphones, tablets, Kindles, and games are accepted for return.

Our world is constantly changing. Nothing stays as it is. The beliefs and values are not the same as 100 years ago. Gone are the days when multi-child family seemed to be a common thing. However, children are still being cherished and loved. Such values as honesty, courage, respect, and trust are still being preserved. Being a parent is still one of the most socially valued roles in society. One can hardly deny that a well-known proverb “Blood is thicker than water” is still relevant. I believe that the family ties are more important and lasting than those that are made among friends. As for me, my family is the most important thing in the whole world. That's why I wrote  a narrative essay about hard being a family .   I can always rely on them in the time of need. I am sure that they will never turn back.
