Life habits -

Creating no garbage!

In 2004, I was living a thrifty life; but not living a healthy life. I had been smoking since I was 12 years old. I did not recycle. I used and reused plastic and did not own a reusable shopping bag. I did not eat organic. I ate fast food. I ate processed food. I was killing the world. I was killing my grandchildren. I was killing me.

The excuses... 'I can't do it all by myself' and 'what can one person do ' did not work for me anymore and were, certainly, not going to help the world. I thought, I could at least try my best to live the way I thought everyone should. I could influence those around me who look the other way or are too lazy or have no gumption. I'm sure people thought I went crazy in my obsession with defeating these problems but it was the sanest thing I have ever done and I still do it today; with conviction, passion and determination.

I want to lead by example. There are other people out there that believe a difference can be made. As I travel through my life time, I meet others who have come to the right place and realization that I was right and they wanted to know what I did.
