I’m already starting to do this, and where I’m situated in the country it’s fairly easy to do – heck, out here it’s sometimes even cheaper to buy local and environmentally responsible products.

I’d like to learn how to eventually switch over so that almost everything I buy has less impact on the earth. I’m not sure how I’d be able to find sanitary products I can live with, but I’ll investigate :) This goal is also closely tied into weaning myself off/away from corporations (see goal below); I plan to use buyblue.org, knowmore.org, responsibleshopper.org and the Green Pages (http://www.coopamerica.org/pubs/greenpages/) to help me choose wisely. There are piles of resources online on how we can do this – just found another basic one here: http://www.daily-acts.org/actions.html.

The point is, I – and we – can’t afford to have our ecological footprint grow bigger than it already is. That’s why we have rethink what and how we’re doing.
