Things Green

***Page Still in Progress***

“be like a bee, anything he eats is clean, anything he creates is sweet and any branch he sits upon does not break”

The decision of where to place this tab was a difficult one for me. Part of me feels obligated to put it under the inspiration menu section because a.) I have a feeling most things under this section will end up being quotes or inspirational people/books/projects etc. and b.) because the inspiration section was already confusing enough to try to and sign a structure. From the very beginning my instinct was to put in under the rejuvenation section because I believe, at least for myself, being “green” is intertwined with being healthy, happy and whole. Deep down I feel like nature is a huge part of being a healthy person. The more obvious reason: to be healthy we need to breathe clean air, eat whole and densely nutritious foods and receive the oxygen from plants plants; but the less obvious reason, I believe, is because having a strong connection to a healthy Earth allows us to have an insight into ourselves and others. Being more sustainable, in our buildings, food systems, transportation systems etc. is a way to make sure all these connections are strong

At the moment this section will be mainly an inspirational section but I hope to slowly turn it into a display of the ways I’m becoming greener in my life and the green projects I am working on.
