On the 2nd ever Funday Monday, I decided to talk about something a friend recently asked me: how do you pick a boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife? How do you know they’re the one? So I came up with an analogy that I think perfectly fits the bill!
The VG Daily: 020 – How to Make Meaningful Changes
So we talked about why I’m quitting meat: the emotional and logical reasons, but how do we go from deciding to do something, to acting? Making changes to your life is hard, so what we can we do to maximize our chance of continuing to do something we decide to do? Today I tell you how.
The VG Daily: 019 – Why I’m Quitting Meat Part 2: The Science
Continuing yesterdays discussion about why I’m quitting meat. We talked about the emotions and feelings involved in eating meat, then we thought about how that meat is connected to the world around me. Today, we’re going to look a little bit into some science behind those feelings to see if those feelings are justified. A real-life example of how to […]
The VG Daily: 018 – Why I’m Quitting Meat Part 1: Feelings and Emotions
If you’ve listened to past episodes, you know what it means now to Live ECO, but now we need to apply it to our lives! Today, I wanted to share my experience with becoming environmentally-conscious about meat. Tomorrow, we’ll get into the science and the reasons why meat is bad for the environment to reinforce our sense and feelings we […]
The VG Daily: 017 – I’m ECO. Now what?
I talked before about how to me, to live ECO means to live a life that is Environmentally-COnscious. Becoming aware of our connection to nature is the start to a sustainable life…But it’s only the start. What do you do next?

Excited for more Funday Mondays in future! Be […]
The VG Daily: 015 – Biden, Trump, & America’s Polarization
As much as possible, I want to keep politics out of the Verdant Growth Daily, since I believe that the environment is NOT a political issue. But from time to time, it’s natural that it’s going to come up. So today I wanted to just give my thoughts about Biden vs Trump, and how we can use nature to bridge […]
The VG Daily: 014 – The Paris Accord
Congratulations to new President Biden! I’m really excited for the future of our planet now that we have a president that listens to and respects science. Biden has re-entered us into the Paris Accord…But…What is the Paris Accord? That’s what we’re talking about today. Here’s to new hope for the environment!
The VG Daily: 013 – “Throw Away”
We throw away things from our lives every day. But the term “throw away” tells us everything we need to know about what we’re doing. We’re not making things disappear. We’re just moving them away from us. We’re just changing the location of our waste. What we need to do is “throw away” less.
The VG Daily: 012 – Racial Equality and Environmental Activism
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so I thought it would be appropriate to discuss how much environmental activism is tied together with black rights, indigenous rights, and other kinds of modern day activism.
