Improve the sustainability of my lifestyle? Well my lifestyle is ... somewhat sustainable I suppose, my behaviour towards a sustainable living is pretty positive but what could I do to improve on that?
Well the most unsustainable thing I'm currently doing is studying for a degree, its a bold claim but its true isn't it, I'm on a loan with no real income to pay it back, living on halls paying rent with that money, buying food I myself can't afford, buying books with money that isn't mine and I will eventually have to pay back... must I go on? If I wanted to become truly sustainable I should give up the degree and find a secure job with fixed income and a new home but even that isn't 100% sustainable because the job could always fall through and I would be unstuck.
I could always become more sustainable through general actions like buying fresh fruit or walking instead of using a bus, but to be much more sustainable currently I would have to look at the most unsustainable part of my lifestyle, which is unfortunatly my degree.
So whats stopping me? Well nothing is really stopping me from buying fruit or walking, maybe laziness on my behalf for that, or the fact I like what I'm used to - and its not fruit or walking. But in terms of dropping my degree? It's wanting to get something much greater from my opportunities. I don't want a small job and know its safe as I slowly rake in the money, I want to take a risk so I have that opportunity to get something far greater out of it all. I would rather risk the sustainability of my entire lifestyle and know there might be something better waiting for me, than sit in a small house with a poor job only knowing that maximum sustainability sucks.
