When I started my green journey, I had to first accept that there were many things that I could not control. Things that were happening with our environment. Or how the environment issues were managed. It was important to me to be clear about what I was powerless over, and where I could influence. To avoid feeling overwhelmed and to waste my time and energy on trying to change the things that I could not. An ecological burn out was not for what I aimed for.

Greening my own lifestyle was among those things that I could start to change right away. Today, some months later, I cannot believe that I bike again and do not use Nespresso café capsules at home. I also made my own laundry detergent and have reduced our energy and water consumption and the way we recycle. We eat more local and organic food that is not wrapped into plastic. Since I accepted my limits, I have changed more in a few weeks than during many years before. It is amazing how it works!
