Plastic bags, Plastic bottles, clothes spilling out of the drawers, food rotting in the fridge and junk mail piling up on my door step! The amount of waste I have generated in the past three months seem to have quadrupled!… The massive portions at restaurants, the mammoth quantities in which most household items have to be bought at Cosco or at Walmart and the constant discounts, sales and special offers beckoning for you to open you wallet makes this society optimally geared towards the resource devouring lifestyles of producing – consuming and wasting MORE!!!!
But there is also another side to “California!”.. The place that made vegetarianism fashionable and took it to the next level of being vegan+ made Ayurvedic cooking chic. All the different twists of meditation practices here would also surely make my traditional Buddhist grand ma go mad!..
This blog would focus on three aspects
1) Sustainable practices / choices that we can adopt / make in our daily lives
2) Alternative lifestyle groups that exist in the valley that focus on sustainable living
3) Research on affordable green-tech that also has an applicability in the developing world (I am still flabbergasted at the insolence of the developed nations who point-blank refused to share “green technology” with developing nations at Copenhagen!.. more on that later)
So let the “needs reduction therapy” begin!!!
