My very first blog

Aloha,
this is like some of you might suspect my very first blog. It has taken me way too long to get here. For some reason I was under the impression that it would be difficult, but so far, not to bad at all. Quite fun and easy actually!

This blog will follow most of my own and others research and findings for sustainable living and sustainable products. To Assist me with accomplishing this I have set some new goals.
Some of my resolutions for the new year are:

#1 - Buy local food & product as much as possible.
#2 - Buy proven organic/fare-trade items
#3 - Buy things that have 5 ingredients or less.
#4 - Only buy things I cannot reasonably make myself.
#5 - Only buy things that are toxin-free or harmless.

My foray into a more sustainable life promises to be an exciting and fun adventure.
 I found some of my determination to start this by listening to Michael Pollan on public radio as well as some of his YouTube speeches to the google company. Pretty much the rest of my inspiration came from watching my children and wanting to teach them and myself a better way to live and a cleaner planet for them to inhabit. 
I will write about our attempts at a sustainable lifestyle, the products I come across, do they work, do they not, are they truly green, do they have hidden problems or toxins, and our struggles and victories as far as this is concerned.

I am posting a link to a PBS Michael Pollan interview on "Bill Moyers Journal" for those of you that are interested. You can also look up his Google speach on You Tube.

Hejdå tills nästa gång/bye 'til next time (Swedish)
