Today I start an adventure. I have been thinking about creating a blog for a long time now and finally have enough to say that I think someone might like to read.
I am starting this for several purposes:
1. I have a stack of magazine articles that I find interesting and want to remember. But I don't want to have them cluttering my kitchen counter any longer.
2. I want to remember all the useful tips I find for when I have a house of my own.
3. I wanted a way to organize my research for my Master's thesis. For those that are interested the question is: Does feeding children organically reduce their risk of potential health hazards.
4. Give me a space that I can proudly jump on my soap box of environmental radicalism without the scorn of the "non-believers".
I will probably think of other uses for this site, but for now that seems good enough.
This is simply a place to organize the things I find interesting about living a healthy eco-friendly life. I am in no way an expert, rather an eager student of living better. I put this out there for others who are also interested in learning how to live healthier.
