Tired Of Watching Screens And Baking Bread? Try Doing This Instead

When writer David Sedaris moved to England, he started an unusual pair of hobbies: hours-long walks and picking up roadside litter.

According to CNN, Sedaris had walked right into a potent combination of physical, psychological, and environmental benefits.

Not only that, but it's also a pandemic-friendly activity.

Walking is an excellent, low-impact exercise, and it's easy to scale the distance and pace to suit any fitness level.

Meanwhile, doing helpful things — such as leaving your local area a little bit cleaner — has been shown to boost happiness.

It's a great time to do it, too.

The pandemic has created a surge of plastic waste, including disposable surgical masks and gloves.

However, if you're going to help pick up pandemic trash, stay safe: Wear a mask and gloves, and always put litter directly into a sturdy garbage bag.
