Simple Yogurt

I’ve always been interested in living simply and in things that were sustainable. Sure I bought used clothing, used cars, used books, used furniture, and participated in the local recycling programs. Early on I even raised my on food but like many people I got busy living life and lost focus.  This past January I resolved to live in a more sustainable way. A catalyst to my thinking was the realization that life for my children and grandson might be much harder unless I started to think differently about how I consumed resources.

Resolved:

• reduce consumption of consumer goods
• reduce waste - goal - zero-waste
• reduce energy consumption
• reduce water consumption

Like everything important the first step is to get started. The easiest thing I could do was to turn down the thermostat when it is cold and up when it is warm and to keep unused lights off.
