Happy Earth Day, and Welcome!

It is fitting that Earth Day directly follows Easter this year. Yesterday we celebrated new life, and today we celebrate creation. I also thought it a fitting day to launch a new sustainable and ethical living blog. So, no matter who you are or where you find yourself today, welcome to Enough.


Enough is a blog about living abundantly while treading lightly on - and even nurturing - the earth. Posts will typically cover practical, everyday topics like waste-free grocery shopping, reducing plastic in the kitchen (and around the home), natural cleaning, and conserving electricity and water. There will even be the occasional "ecofiction roundup" - a list of recommended books along with mini reviews.

Why Enough? Speak it with exasperation, frustration, anger: Enough pollution. Enough violence. Enough destruction. Speak it with temperance: Enough food. Enough clothes. Enough stuff. Speak it with the joy of abundance: I have enough. There is enough. I can do enough.

It is easy to fall into despair in the face of food grown with poisons, wars over finite resources, plastic filling the oceans, and species disappearing. But there is still beauty and hope to be found, and even if you feel that radical change is beyond your control, everyone can do something, and little things add up. It is enough.
