The Sustainable Life: More Joy, Less Consumption. What’s this and who’s writing it? Archive for January, 2008. John Edwards: More Grit Than Gloss. January 30, 2008. I’m sad that John Edwards has exited the presidential race. Why? Mr Edwards has called Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama with the news of his exit, specifically asking them to commit to addressing poverty more in their campaigns. I find it ironic that the populist candidate who stood most firmly for the common man ended up sacrificing his ...

This morning I submerged a jasmine tea bag into the hot water inside my lovely little blue mug that I bought from a local potter years ago. I’ve done this most mornings for years, but today I suddenly thought to put a little saucer across the top of the mug while the tea steeps. Simplicity and its Implications. October 25, 2007.

How to Be Rich in What Matters. Food & drink. Health & well being. Day of the Dead. Home & garden. Leaving The Space Open: I’m Taking A Break. Sunday, January 11, 2015. Health and well being.

I think many perceive green wonky people to be grim, austere Puritan types. But my experience is quite different from that. Here’s what my dining room sounded like (loosely translated) last night when my Green Girls social circle came over for dinner. I was proposing a CRAG to them. As I had planned. Micki: “So what’s this CRAG thing? A guy I can date?

The Sustainable Life: More Joy, Less Consumption. What’s this and who’s writing it? Archive for April, 2008. April 28, 2008. The financial benefits of carpooling, featured in a front page story of the Oregonian today. Are only one reason that carpooling is cool. I’d say its coolness is embodied in four C’s: cash, congestion reduction, carbon footprint and community. They’ve forgiven me for. Carpooling can be community. Living here in Oregon, I found mine through Carpool Match Northwest. April 24, 2008.

This website, from my crude mock-up to the final product, would not be possible without the invaluable, side-by-side coaching, tactical guidance and able technical support of Jessica Taylor. In addition, she tutored me in Photoshop to the extent that I can say it was fun to edit and save my photos and drawings that are used in the website. Thanks also to Cameron Marschall. For his expertise with words. He wrote much of what you read here with a few small additions and changes to reflect my voice.
