Using colored paper, help a neighbor with "Isolation Communication"
Nova Scotia resident Glynis Mullen shared a simple, but brilliant, way that we can all employ to look out for our neighbors in real life, "Our neighbour is older and lives alone so I gave her three colour pieces of paper for her window which face our kitchen window. Green is for Im OK, yellow (is) for need(ing) help with an errand, and red for emergency. I call it isolation communication."
She and her neighbour often communicate through her kitchen window and said the tri-colour paper system is a really good visual comfort that everything is okay. When its yellow, I know I should call and we can arrange something.
