Downsizing Everything

on March 24, 2010

Over the past few decades it seems as if we’ve super sized everything.

  • Our houses
  • Food portions (pancakes, pizza, subs, everything)
  • Soda
  • Coffees
  • Medicine intake
  • Our vehicles

And now as all of that catches up to us, what are we doing about it?

What are YOU doing to combat this? And more importantly why should we?

I’ve started by…

  • Downgrading to a late model Toyota
  • Buying and eating healthier food

  • Choosing locally owned restaurants over chains (as much as I can)
  • Eating smaller portions of everything
  • Replacing soda with hot teas
  • Getting rid of my unnecessary stuff (constant battle)
  • Avoiding certain brands
  • Buying higher quality foods that aren’t made in labs

I’d like to…

  • Do everything I listed above more
  • Ride my bicycle more
  • Walk more
  • Move into a smaller place
  • Get to know my community more

What about you?

    Hey Lloyd thanks for coming by. I have your Home Work Hand Built Shelter book. I wrote the text and the picture is by Christoph Hoffmann and I paid for the use of the photo.
