Why do I want to torture myself into continuing this blog?

Because I want to remember what's most valuable to me.

In business school, I spend hours figuring out ways to save companies money -- either millions or even a couple cents per product. While it's not especially fun for me, I know it's a skill that I will need in future jobs.

All I think about all day is money, money, money.

But I want to remember that money is not the important thing. I want to remember that I'm working for the environment, that I should do everything in my power to lessen my environmental footprint, educate others, and work to make environmental organizations more effective and powerful.

I want to remember that that's the reason why I helped start Conscious Consuming.

So what does this have to do with wasting cash? I guess it has to do with not wasting anything, with not being a glutten, and continuing to remember that generosity and selflessness are important.

I'm finding it hard to remember these things these days. Hopefully, if I have a place to write it down, a place where it's public and remind me daily, then I will continue to work on this in my life.
