I must agree that a sustainable diet and lifestyle can make you a healthier and happier person overall. From all of the research that I’ve read and done, it seems to be a healthy alternative to the normal hustle and bustle lifestyle that I, myself, lead. I really want to stay as committed as I can to a sustainable lifestyle, but I know it will be hard. I know that I probably will never live a 100% sustainable lifestyle, but I can do small things to help the earth! I’m definitely committed to planting a garden, going to the farmer’s market all summer (which opens in Bloomington/Normal May 14), eating less meat and buying food locally at food co-ops.
During this project, I really wanted to go work for PrairiErth Farms, in exchange for locally grown goods, but unfortunately, we were only in contact for a short time. I still wish to do this and hope I can during my summer in Bloomington/Normal. I also really hope to keep up with my blog and post more about living sustainably and any other food news (a-la Eng 308) I can find!
I know that with the help of my friends (i.e. Jenny Goodwine), I can work to make the earth a better place. It is absolutely going to be a hard journey because living sustainably isn’t the norm, but it’s one I hope to continue on, at least in small ways. I will continue to read literature about food and sustainability in the hopes of learning even more. I know I’m not perfect – I still enjoy a little Taco Bell in my life (our little secret!), but I can still do many things to help out the earth!
I hope you’ve enjoyed my blog and I hope that at least one thing I’ve said has inspired you to try and live the same! Thank you!
Best wishes,
Julia Frederick
