Turning over a new leaf

Hello Everyone! I have not blogged for a very long time, and goodness knows if anyone follows this blog anymore. Regardless, I am restarting this blog as a means of documenting the success of my new year's resolution: I resolve to reduce the environmental impact of my actions.

Now, before you dismiss me as a hippie or extremist, I assure you that I am not. I just value a clean environment because pollution contributes to asthma, and my grandmother grew up as a farmer who relied on the earth and its natural processes to survive. I also love outdoor activities and I find biodiversity to be just fascinating.

So what is it that I propose? I do not hope to change policy with my resolution. But I do hope to convince you to take on tiny changes, as individuals with a greener more sustainable future in mind. So what I have done with my family is that I have set up monthly eco-challenges for them to master. And each month, as I push my family to be green with me, I ask you to join in. I will try to provide evidence and make a strong case. If I am ever wrong, I would love to have you comment. But in the end, I hope to raise awareness and to make you realize how living green is easy:)

So look out for my next post which will feature January's goal as together, we work towards more sustainable living!
