I wrote this post in my notes, at the end of November. The night before I was supposed to fly out to Prague for a conference, when I should have been packing or pre-crastinating the homework I was going to miss while I spent the week in Europe attending talks and networking events. The conference … Continue reading It’s been a while, huh?

A lot of people have been telling me they want to try eating more plant based foods but don't know where to start. I thought I'd take some time to make a grocery list, with a lot of vegan essentials. I didn't include any meat, cheese or dairy replacements because I don't use them, but … Continue reading Plant Based Grocery List

Besides not being able to see the friends I last said goodbye to in July, I … Continue reading How to Stay at Home and Stay Sustainable
