Going Green (Again) – An Experiment

Hypothesis: A person is able to make and maintain green, sustainable changes to their lifestyle despite harsh restrictions on time and income.

Objective: To return to the green, healthy and sustainable lifestyle I previously had when income and time were less of a concern.

Step 1: Food.

Objective: Begin eating healthier, homemade foods.

Obstacles:

Time: I am going to college full time, as well as working full time. I must fit in making homemade meals that are healthy while still maintaining enough time for school/work/study/sleep.
Money: Despite working full time, it is only a minimum wage job. Living in a city where costs are high, this leaves me with barely enough money to cover bills. After budgeting I have roughly $100 per month to spend on food.

Do you have any cookbooks? One I would recommend would be The More with Less Cookbook. Lots of bean, rice, lentils, and veggie recipes.
