Getting comfortable...

I'm initiatives and goals at the moment in Brazil....

In between my wwoofing adventures, I stay with my good friend and together we are actually looking for a property to buy where we can host ecological training for both kids and adults, in addition to holistic healing retreats that include energy, food and nature therapies and meditation.

Projects currently involved with include:
1. Proposal writing for a vegan agroforestry community where the plan is to have ecological trainings with local farmers on how to be sustainable and profitable even with degraded soil, with the use of certain plants.
2. Developing Brazilian vegan industrial recipes for an otherwise non-vegan friendly factory that creates a lot of snack foods.
3. Bee green, an organization dedicated to waste free living. Their biggest project as of now is promoting reusable cups at bars and restaurants, to replace the disposable plastic cups. In addition to cloth bags in replacement of plastic bags.

Goals:
1. At some point this year actually I would love to go waste free, make a commitment to not buy anything that comes with packaging, or containing plastic. And in the case that it's necessary for some reason or another, keep it limited to once a month and compose letters to the company that was bought from about how and why their practices are so wasteful and further, mail their packaging back to them using upcycled packaging, and in addition documenting and recording this new lifestyle, to help contribute to and propel this movement.
2. At some point this year become raw vegan again--or mostly, in addition to going fully local. This initiative will further reduce negative impacts by reducing oil and gas consumption, gas emissions and fracking.  In addition to just having amazing impacts on the body.
3. For the carbon used in transportation, fund efforts in tree planting to make up the difference.
