After watching a few documentaries about lessening our impact on the world and the crazy shit big corporations do to save a buck, make millions, and stick it to the lesser informed population, I felt it was time to do my small little part to get back to the way things used to be...just to see if it is the way things still could be.
For the last...well every new years resolution has pretty much been a major fail. My resolution this year is to push myself do the things that I feel are the right things to do, the things that I used to think were too hard to do, or the ones I was just too lazy to try. I want learn as much as I can about being as healthy as possible, I want to become a more informed consumer (I stole that from my friend Meghann), and I want to see how it impacts our family both financially and physically. While I'm at it, I thought maybe blogging about it would get some new information out to other people, so that you can make a more informed decision about how you want to live your life.
Each month I am going to try to drastically change my behaviors and be very strict for a full month. I figure if I do something new each month, I can learn more throughout a year, and I have less chance of giving up on another new years resolution.
I'm not sure how this whole blogging thing is going to go, I don't plan on this whole thing becoming very popular. I hope to update my on-goings, try to inform others on new information I find through readings/documentaries, and maybe even help other people change their behaviors. I'm sure I will keep up with some things for the long haul, and slack off on the others, but over all I think I will be a healthier and happier Shelton after this year is over.
