What could I have done differently in my life, so that I would be better off now? I could have Learned how to take Cornell Notes. I could have been more interested in how to load a dishwasher.

Composting Toilets
The first time my family bought a house, I remember my stepmom and I connected over the idea of sustainable living. That is when she told me about composting toilets.

So, I startedContinue reading “Transition to Sports”

This image is a blurry photograph of my mother’s etching, “Summer Oaks and Porch”, which was used as the cover of the second Fuzzy Mountain String Band album cover in 1972 after the tragic death of my mother in a car accident. My definition of Sustainable Living being ‘living in such a way that oneContinue reading “Extending my Definition of Sustainability”
