Call me an optimist, but I truly believe most people want to do and be better. This desire varies from person to person and depends on what point a person may be in their life. Admittedly, things and topics that didn’t seem to matter to me at 19 are incredibly valuable now that I’m 35. Once I noticed the change within, it took humility and commitment to change my thinking and lifestyle.
The biggest shift that I believe most people are trying to make less overwhelming is the move towards sustainable living. Regardless of where you live, eat, or shop, you are more than likely exposed to our society’s collective effort to save our planet.
The magnitude of this became real to me on a personal basis a couple of years ago when I started watching documentaries on waste, and how collectively, our daily habits contribute to the earth’s condition.
So I decided to start doing my share to help the planet. I mean come on…it’s the only one we have.
Fired up with this passion to correct years of environmentally destructive habits, I researched everything. And I quickly felt overwhelmed and discouraged just like many others.
Where should I start? How can I realistically incorporate these changes into everyday life?
Well, that’s when I came up with a list of actions I could take each day based on things I was already doing. It was a start. But more importantly, it set the tone for change and made me more excited to weave other shifts into my life as I became a pro at the first ones.
