Pop goes my drinks choice 6:26pm on 14 Aug 2008 This blog has been uplifting in an odd way. I go through the same nit-picking analysis of everything I buy (albeit in a less formal manner). It's good to know that I'm not the only one over-analyzing every berry or beer purchase.

I've accepted that living without plastic is nearly impossible, so I settle for minimizing my overall ecological footprint. I drink filtered tap water instead of bottled drinks, I carry my reusable bottle with me everywhere I go, and I try to minimize waste.

The biggest reduction in my personal ecological footprint has been going vegan. As a child I learned about factory farming, and the waterways in North Carolina that had been destroyed by hog farms. I also learned about the Amazonian rainforest being destroyed to support beef production, and I learned that an obscene portion of our grain crops are going to chicken production. The solution was simple--I stopped supporting those industries. In the past few years I have been able to increase the portion of my diet that is produce organically.
