August 2nd - HIATUS

While moving to another city, I'll be putting the blog and the show on hiatus until I can get established pod-casting.
Its been a great way to coerce myself into doing research about sustainability issues that I may not have otherwise done on my own.
Again, no one person can turn their life around over night. There are still many changes I know I can make, and many yet to be discovered.
It's hard to be positive about sustainable alternatives when you see others turn a blind eye to human right abuses, or environmental abuses in favour of cheap candy bars or cheap clothes. We all have little voices that justify seemingly innocent acts, like buying a candy bar, by not connecting it with large scale exploitation, or by whatever allowances we give ourselves. Its true that without legislation preventing unethical business practice, theres always going to be the person who would rather save a buck to get ahead.

We're not as far off from changing the global market as we think. There are already millions of supporters for hundreds of organizations that deal specifically with getting these types of legislation in place! For anyone who feels alone or hopeless in their decision to change their buying habits can find plenty of support, advice, and guidance online and in their own home towns. Its easy to feel alone when the people you see regularly (family, work, friends) are apathetic, but the sustainable movement has reached many corners, and it often does just take a little looking around and meeting new people to find that support, but its out there for sure!

So long story short; I now know a lot more about sustainability and got to share it. Once I get set up I'll probably take the show down to a bi-weekly hour-long set. I hope to be able to go more in depth with each topic that way, and work on increasing the professional quality of the show.

What a great start though. Thanks for reading!
