If you are interested in being eco-friendly, you’ve probably heard of the phrase Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. But what does that mean, actually? And how can you go about it? That’s what I want to discuss with you today.

   Hello and welcome back to Eight Years In. I like to talk a lot on here about things that we can do to make this world a better place. It’s all so external. And that’s great and important. But the fact is, everyone comes to a certain point in their life where they have nothing to give. And that’s okay. But it’s how we deal with it that makes all the difference. 

 We all know that being a good person and making a difference in this world is a twisted bundle of expectations and ideas, but what if it’s actually more simple than we think?

   Today, we’re talking about a simple concept, but one that is, perhaps rife with nuance. And that is, of course, doing your best. 

   In this world, we’re given a finite amount of resources. Time, money, energy, health, and so on and so forth. It’s up to us to figure out what to do with them. And if you’re looking to really make a difference with what you have, you may want to consider volunteering your time. 

   We hear a lot about water conservation these days in circles that are concerned about the environment and personal responsibility. And you know, that’s for good reason. The fact is, most of us are using more than we need to. So for those of us who are living our daily lives and want to know what we can do to do our part, let’s talk about the little things. Things we can all be mindful of, to save water. 

I know, it’s odd to see a vegan blog talking about the incompleteness of veganism. But this site for me goes a bit beyond veganism, and that is for the reasons that we’re going to talk about today.
