The beginning of my change away from conspicuous consumption

This is the day I resolve to buy local/national, go green, and to begin my terrace farm. I also intend to follow Einstein's advice to eat only vegetarian.

• Buy local: purchase fruits and vegetables from local farmer's markets
• Buy national: Identify expected purchases for 2009 and research to find American made goods for those purchases.
• Review each product's impact on the environment.
• Plan terrace garden
• Track progress in all four projects listed above by maintaining this blog.
