I recently have become obsessed with a blog called No Impact Man. It's the story of a family in New York City(!) that make the switch to no-impact living and it is an incredibly honest account of trying to live consciously. If you check out this blog make sure that you read the comments. That is where a lot of the action happens- especially in the entry that he states his mission.
This blog has so inspired me that I have decided to make some radical change in my life- change that goes beyond shopping at Whole Foods and visiting the Farmer's Market for strawberries and donuts. I'm talking painful, life-altering change. I mean, come on! I live in Charlottesville for a reason. Almost everything that we need to live a very happy and comfortable life is available locally. Now I have to figure out how to make better,if not easier, choices that sustain and even heal.
As No Impact Man demonstrated, a good way to approach monumental change is to have a plan. I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks researching my local resources and writing out a plan. Anyone care to contribute?
