Color Me Green

My first post was about sheep poo... how baaaa-d of me! I forgot to introduce myself.

Well anyways. My name is Sarah and I am currently taking time off from university to explore the more natural, organic ways of life. And I really mean explore. I spent the last 9 months sailing around North America and Europe on an 18th-century replica wooden tall ship. From using sail power to making our own water, there are a lot of cool ways to find a greener lifestyle out on the deep blue. Though many current maritime practices are not environmentally friendly (think super heavy duty chemicals!), sailing on a tall ship opened my eyes to how little I need in life and the beauties of living with nature. I got to see the extraordinary glories of the Earth: dolphins playing in the phosphorescence, shooting stars, the Milky Way glimmering brightly in the night sky, endangered Leatherback sea turtles swimming by... I went snorkeling in Bermuda, hiked Connemarra's glorious valleys, and gazed upon the saffron cliffs of Southern Spain...

And so, with these memories and lessons still fresh in my mind, you could say I'm on a journey to discover how I can live and contribute to a more organic life. I've accumulated a broad range of knowledge and sources... and this is where I'll share them! Along with, of course, my own experiences. Next up? An apprenticeship on a small organic farm in central Illinois... :)
