No Gaia No Glory

I hate walking on the road near my house because it is so busy and loud. If it were not these things, I would go out to restaurants and other amenities closer to my home instead of hauling around town to other neighborhoods. 

Currently, I cannot. I live in an old apartment building with no plans to install such a system. That being said, when we do buy a house someday, I would absolutely consider this technology. It might be a relatively large initial investment, but it will last for years and give me the piece of mind that my energy is literally free coming from...

Making my home more energy efficient can lead to cost savings, reduce my demand on the grid, and serve as a model for others to make sure their homes are insulated and cared for properly. 

Microturbines could probably work anywhere here in Denver/Aurora. This is a windy place, so putting them out in open fields or even on top of buildings, big and small, would likely generate enough electricity to be cost-effective. 

Forests offer me respite from the concrete jungle, clean air to breath, shade on hot days, and homes for my animal friends. 

I can choose different oil products and conserve paper use at home and at work so that demand for palm oil and paper goes down. 

Breakfast will likely be my spot to do this... I already don't eat meat for breakfast so this should be an easy one! We will try to do some vegan meals during the challenge as well. 

It's amazing how cutting out something like beef can reduce your impact on basically all levels.

We just did Skype interviews yesterday and will do them again tomorrow so people don't have to fly out here unnecessarily!

I actually use the 0 Waste R's... REFUSE being the most important one. I have been getting very good at just refusing thing that bring garbage into my life and it has reduced the clutter in my life accordingly.
