Making Tiny Choices
At the beginning of April, I made an overwhelmingly huge list of health and environmental goals that I hoped to reach by the end of the month. Needless to say, I’ve found myself falling short, and getting sort of disappointed. I really do want to never buy disposable anything! I really do want to eat fruits and vegetables with every single meal. I even really do want to reduce my dependency on traditional conventional care products like shampoo, but sometimes that has meant looking like a real greaseball–and I’m a busy lady–I can’t look like I just rolled out of bed, at least not too often!
I recently came across a great blog called Tiny Choices that, not surprisingly, focuses on the little things we can do every day to make our lives a little greener. While the blog’s content is interesting and informative, it’s the title that I found most inspirational. Instead of tying myself to lofty goals that I often can’t attain, I need to concentrate on individual moments, or Tiny Choices, if you will. I need to not take a huge handful of napkins from the lunch counter when getting takeout instead of saying no disposables ever again. I need to remind my partner to turn off the light on many separate occasions instead of saying never leave the lights on again.
What about you? We’ve already talked about big Earth Day-inspired goals. What about your Tiny Choices?

I found that Tine Choices and this blog called puremavens are awesome blogs to look for choices that are healthy.
