This time I will not post something related to the environment but rather something that has to do with what I am today.
Since the day my family and I moved to our own house many years ago my mother tried to make a lot of things which would contribute to our pockets and the environment. I remember that we sampled all the food in one place in the garden and leave them to decompose. As i mentioned in one of the very first posts i made in this blog is that the decomposed food is the best fertilizer for the garden. That was the best thing for our house since we have a huge garden surrounding it. My father also built a chicken house and we had the waste of the chicken as a fertile soil too. For around 4-5 years we did not need to buy any vegetables and we saved a lot of money by that. We also had the best, tasty and most healthy vegetables that we could find because of that system. After that, my mother still continued recycling the garbages, saving water from the rain and used it for watering the garden etc. Even when the house was still on paper, she thought about the future and built a natural recycling water system in the house and now we can use all the water that was consumed all over again, saving huge water bills. Additionaly, since the house is on a hillside, my parents used the gravity to collect more water in the tank when it was raining (too much detail to go in).
These are only some examples of the kind of life im used to live in and the reason why i continued thinking as an environmentalist away from home. My mother raised us in such a way that it became a standard thing to be benefitial to the environment. I owe a lot to her and not just for making me a better person.
Mom, thank you.

Wow,I could never imagine anyone here taking that many steps to be environmentally friendly. Most people in the US that can make a difference think they are doing their part by flying first class instead of charting their private jet.I really wonder about the statment that our society and generation will leave behind.
