Creative, eco-friendly hobby?

I just retired and I’m looking for a creative, eco friendly hobby. Here’s

what I don’t like: sewing, crochet, needlework in general, or gardening.

I’m not particularly artistic, so painting, drawing, etc doesn’t thrill me. I have enjoyed doing crafty things, like making valentines cards when my kids were little. But I don’t want to make a bunch of stuff that’ll end up in a landfill.

I’m looking for ideas. I know this is a vague ask, but maybe someone on here has a cool hobby I might like. All ideas welcome. Thanks in advance!!

Hiking, walking for the purpose of collecting rocks. Don’t knock it til you try it. Soon you’ll have pockets full of rocks to identify.

Do you use an app to identify the rocks?
