After the Crash

After the Crash
I have always known that I have needed to change my behavior but after watching the Crash Course I realize how imperative it is that I start to actually make changes to live more sustainably and not just procrastinate it like I do with my school work. I think everyone should watch this Course to get a better understanding of the interlinking nature between the economy, energy and the environment and the "mismatch between an economy that must grow and the physical world of depleting resources."A big goal for me is to try and start growing some of my own foods so that my family and I are not so tied to the outside economy. To do this it is imperative that I overcome my fear of those horrifically disgusting creatures known as caterpillars and the flying caterpillars (also known as butterflies). Seriously I am petrified of bugs to the extent that I have considered living in a bubble. I will also try to not use my car as much. I live in the boonies so I have to drive to the store quite frequently. One way of making it so I do not have to drive so much is possibly growing some of my own bug free foods. I also have to work on changing my mindset as well as my family's mindset. We must make an effort to try and break free from the consumers trap of always thinking we need more.
