Comment on 7 Things I’m Doing Right Now To Improve My Financial Situation by nick

Lots of great tips. The neat thing about getting your finances under control is the longer you work at it, the easier it gets. Not spening seems difficult in the beginning, but pretty soon you don’t know why you were buying stuff in the first place.

Comment on It’s Time To Market Yourself by nick

Very helpful article with some great points. For those who don’t think that marketing yourself is important, just remember that those who are not doing a great job and marketing themselves full time to make up for it. Make sure your company knows your value.

I have been car free for close to seven years and it is a wonderful feeling to not have any cognitive dissonance between the way I feel about petroleum use and the way I use it.

Living one’s values is very difficult in many aspects of one’s life, not just ecology. On the spiritual side, when I returned to church after a very long absence, I suddenly realized just how difficult it was. I have had to learn how to treat other people more thoughtfully - I often fail.

As a committed recycler, I try to recycle what I can. Imagine my shame when the wrapper I had on the seat of the car blew out of the window on the highway! I was littering! Unthinkable. I haul items that my city won’t take to work for our recycling program - but that does not begin to make a dent in the trash we discard. And, try to live without purchasing something that uses a lot of plastic. Even at the local market, the produce was stuffed into bags before I could use my cloth bags. Everything is encased in the stuff.

I try to save energy and money and have committed to driving more economically. This is difficult when the freeway is jammed with speeding traffic. One must increase one’s speed or be killed. I do allright on my work trip, but on my trip to school, the speeders rule.

Finally, I have difficulty living my values when my friends and family do not agree with what I consider to be the right thing to do.

That sounds like a great book and really relevant to what I’m trying to do with my life. Every little bit helps, whether it’s collecting water in a bucket from your shower while the water is heating up (to use in your garden) or taking the stairs instead of an elevator. I just had my first child this year and going green has so much more relevance and has made me intensify the eco-conscious lifestyle I have been trying to live for years. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway, and check out my blog for other green living tips and ideas.

@Jamie - Thanks for pointing out the PETA affiliation, I honestly was unaware of that.

@Ness - Free range chicken are the same as battery caged only there is a door in the main area “…to provide access to the outdoors.” You don’t actually ever have to open the door.

Well, we all live with our own perspective of the world. I love to not use paper money. And I do so by using my card. This is not so obvious, but in long term it would leave countable impact in humankind.
Save the trees!

I have a “collection” of milk crates left over from college. I have repurposed them in my entry-way under a child-height coat rack as shoe buckets for my children. They each get one in the color of their choice. Not the most aesthetically pleasing but VERY functional. From sneakers to flip-flops to sport cleats the crates hold them all and the holes of the crates allow the dirt/crumbs to fall through to the floor. Now when I vaccuum I only have to move 2 crates over instead of 20 pairs of shoes.

I do my best to live according to my values all the time, but sometimes I find that they come into conflict with each other. I wish I knew how to deal with that better.

One of my biggest frustrations with the movement towards being eco-friendly is the lack of application I see amongst people who claim to promote it. It’s become trendy. Unfortunately it needs to move past trendy and into “neccesary”. For me I think a book like New Day Revolution could be a huge help to me and others is practical steps. Thanks for the post

I value self-awareness and directed personal development as means to change the World (If everybody worked on changing themselves, the World would certainly change as a whole).

The way I live the value is by journaling every day. I use a technique called Topics du Jour, which allows me to know myself in no more than 10min a day and then take action accordingly.

I value the environment and that means consuming local food…you can’t get much more local then your own backyard so I try to have at least one item from my garden with dinner and once a week, we will have a meal that only contains items from our garden. This also assists with one of my other values, money-consciousness. It is far cheaper to grow your own food than to purchase it at the supermarket.

Regardless of what past friends may say, I have plenty of values. In fact, sometimes keeping track of my values gets confusing. Sometimes I’m not even sure if I really value some of my values.

That confusion can make it hard to know if I actually do live out my values. For instance, I value a clean home, but I tend to value friendships more, which means I’ll often have to decide that social interaction will take precedence over ironing tomorrow’s pants.

Eating well is a way I value my health (and the environment), but sleeping often pulls the short straw.

And then there’s time spent with blogs. I tell myself it’s a value of information, but while learning to be a better, more efficient and creative person might be of value, I’m fairly certain I am not following some higher purpose when I’m reading about the histrionics of videogame developers.
