Lessening The Burden

I have been increasing the number of things that I can do personally to lessen my burden on this beautiful home, Mother Earth.

City Living Means Less Travel

This includes my decision to move into the city. I am leaving a lovely easy to manage, mountain canyon home.

To the back and one side are the towering canyon walls. A steep arroyo will take me to the ridge above, this becomes a wonderful waterfall when there are frog drowning rains.

Setting My Priorities

A new car with better gas mileage and less polluting is not in the immediate picture. Global warming is.

My city’s bus service is limited, but can be planned around, and I can put my bicycle in the bus’s carrying rack. A point in their favour.

Good Housing Available

Luckily, there are decent and even good choices for housing close to my work.

Love Your Job, Love The Earth

I have been with this group for 10 years. When one of our group goes for a vacation, it is not because we need to get away from work. We go because we want new experiences.

Counting My Blessings

Yes, I do count my blessings.
