As I'm going along and doing research, I realize it's hard to stay focused and keep the big picture in mind because I don't have clear macro goals. Micro goals are usually formed at the start of each week, but I haven't been keeping in mind what my gradual improvements/activities should be. I've done some thinking--here's what I've got so far:
-Learn how people in Ithaca live a sustainable lifestyle, whether it be in a community setting (e.g. ecovillage) or on their own. Find at least two examples
-Be able to reflect on the beauty and artfulness of architecture. Consistently keep this in mind.
-Contact someone who lives in/has built an earthship (I already have someone in mind). Go outside comfort zone in that respect.
-Keep making micro goals and stick to them!!
I'm getting started on my first goal here-I'm planning to go to ecovillage on Thursday at 5:00 to meet with a church member who lives there. Maybe the next step I'll take is asking individuals how they live sustainably. It would be interesting to compare how people living in an ecologically conscious community live and how others live.
