eat more locally grown food
Steps of progress 8 months ago

I have always attempted to buy local foods from the Dekalb Farmer’s Market (in Atlanta, GA) which has produce from all over the world, but recently I have given a lot more thought to joining a CSA. I’m proud to declare that next week I will be purchasing and receiving my first basket of local bounty! I’m sure I will still subsitute for some things at the grocery store, but with summer just around the corner more true farmer’s markets will be opening their doors and will limit the amount of things I have to buy from the grocery store.



get rid of all my clutter
Untitled 2 years ago

I did this after I moved into my first apartment. After hauling all my stuff up two flights of stairs I vowed to never have to move so much crap again. I have sold a lot of clothes and shoes that were still in good condition on eBay and given the rest to Goodwill. My room is exactly how a room should be: a bed, dresser, nightstand, and rug. Other than a lamp and alarm clock on my nightstand there are no electronics in the room and the only “knick knacks” a few decorative items. Everything in my possession now is things I actually use.



buy eco-friendly products
Untitled 2 years ago

This will always be a progressive goal. I currently buy biodegradable soaps, shampoos, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, cleaning products (for the most part), etc. To me, there should be no question about whether this is the right or wrong thing to do. So what if the products are a few cents more… we only get one Earth.
