LIVING sustainably

So what is Sustainable? The rote answer is behaving in ways that will not infringe on future generations. For me, it hits home now. That is, how do I pass along good life-practices to my children today? We can only expect the future to be better if we are willing to share what we know today. That is what led me to think back on what I inherited from my parents. It meant revisiting simple things like composting (we called it the compost pile) and a vegetable garden.
