The last time I got to see the night sky was during a religious retreat in the mountains of Colorado. We were outside at night walking back to our cars and I could see clearly without a flashlight. I looked up and it was like seeing diamonds scattered on rich velvet. It was magnificent and something I haven't forgotten.

I'm wary to these spiky balls

I'm wary to these spiky balls (or hedgehogs) because they're made of plastic that may or may not be recyclable. The fact that they're made in China is even worse. I have started using Method's Dryer-activated Fabric Softener which comes in liquid form. Not only does it use natural and plant-based ingredients, but I can buy refills and continue reusing the same bottle. My clothes come out static-free and smelling of lavender.

I have an Amazon Prime

I have an Amazon Prime account and I can tell you that it's not a credit card. It's a membership in which you pay the annual fee of $79 and you get the 2-day free shipping plus some (not all) free video streaming. The downside of Amazon Prime, and something that I wish you'd investigated, is the shipping under this program. I have ordered several items at the same time in the past which I thought would be shipped together, the way they used to when I didn't have Amazon Prime. Now Amazon seems to ship items as they please. So if I order 5 items, I usually get 2-3 separate shipments. Some of them are not even shipped in their smiley cardboard boxes, but in yellow, bubble wrap, unrecyclable envelopes. And I'll get 3 or 4 of those! So now I try to not order so much in one go to avoid this. Too bad your article doesn't get into that.
