What's next?

I started this blog in an effort to offer people ideas about creating a more sustainable life.  Not so many months ago, I could find only a few resources that helped people figure out how to incorporate sustainable ideas into their everyday lives.  Through my journey, I have found quite a few that have come about.  I even found one blog that aimed to do what I intended, except she tried one new idea everyday for an entire year.  Being one to not reinvent the wheel, I have posted links to some of the websites I have found.

Reducing, reusing and recycling will not solve the problem.  Small changes are a start, but truly sustainable change must be systemic.  To affect wide-scale change, one must focus one's efforts on a specific idea and work relentless to change that things.  What matters to you?  To me, education matters.  As part of my graduate work, I hope to understand how mobile technology (such as cell phones) can help people understand sustainability, avoid practices that contribute to climate change, and cope with the currently unavoidable affects.  Maybe public transportation is important to you.  Maybe it's environmentally- and people-friendly home furnishings.  What about nutrition?  Whatever it is, I would urge you to find a cause for which you can be an advocate.  Start a community action group.  Lobby for legislative changes.  Start a company or blog.  Protest.  Whatever it is, fighting relentless for something in which you believe, I feel, is the only way to change the world.
