It's been a long time since my last post and in that time my life has radically changed.
Since January I've moved in with my partner - which has involved moving from an inner city apartment to a house in the suburbs of Lower Hutt - and we've had a baby.
This has been a huge challenge to many of my "green" practices. I'm no longer a free and easy singleton who has plenty of disposable income, makes all the decisions in their domestic life and lives within walking distance of everything. Now our income has halved, I have to negotiate a compromise with my partner on all the household systems (recycling, grocery shopping, cleaning) and it's a mission to go anywhere without driving. Plus I've got a baby to think about.
Meanwhile climate change hasn't gone away, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch hasn't got any smaller and species are still becoming extinct. How am I going to figure out how to keep sustainability a part of my life as a suburban mum?
