I have always prided myself on being a frugal and thoughtful consumer, concerned about the ecological and ethical impacts of the products I buy. I pay that extra $10 a month to support green energy, use CFLs where I can, have low flow shower heads, bricks in the toilet tanks, buy earth and animal friendly cleaning products or make my own, wear my clothes until they're dead, line dry most often, use my dish and pasta water to water landscaping, shower every other day, have no ac, rarely use my gas in wall heater, bike or take public transport almost all of the time, drink tap water, buy local and organic foods to supplement those I grow in my garden, have reusable shopping bags, a reusable coffee cup, a reusable water bottle, save lidded plastic food packaging to store left overs of future meals and compost 100% of my food scraps.

....so what's with all this waste?

Here's to a Bicycle Commute


I finally did it! I found a new job and can now ride my bike to work! Hooray! Yeah! Boohyeah!

For the last 2 years I have been living and commuting in LA without owning a car. I clarify "owning" because I have on many occasions taken use of cars belonging to generous friends.(Thanks Bear, Becca and JP)

As of November, I have a new commute. A meager 20 minutes of butt on bike time, I'm leaving my car days long gone!
