Time for a few changes?

Post: # 209906Post nikipins »

Hello.
I stumbled over this group after a search for organic veg in my area.
I seem over the years to have been drawn into a life of consumerism and not exactly abandoned but certainly ignored many of my previously held principles on sustainability. Uncertain about where to start I've decided to make some small steps such as sourcing local organic veg and try the reduce, reuse, recycle approach to clothing and see where we get to.
I've grown some veg in the garden this year with variable results, certainly not enough to feed the family for more than a few days, so will be hoping to pick up tips from here. :flower:

Hi there and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
