Goals, and our first recipe that couldn't be simpler

As a Type A struggling hippie, I make to-do lists for all of the crunchy, granola-y things I want to do.

So as I sit here sipping a 2.5 liter bottled water infused with 1/2 tsp of freshly grated ginger, swearing that the first sip already helped my migraine (indomitable by prescription meds), I am organizing my list of green/vegan/health projects for Feb. 2010:

1. Make own laundry detergent, dishsoap, and degreaser.
2. Use shampoo less and less.
3. Recycle more and more.
4. Find a less chemically bodywash, or make one.
5. Be more faithful to my yoga routine
6. Be in bed by 10:30 pm.
7. Break the bottled water habit. My stomach should be adapted to boiled Peruvian tap water by now.

Ginger water infusion

1/2 tsp fresh ginger per liter

room-temperature water

Grate 1/2 to 1 full tsp of fresh ginger.

Add into water.

Shaking is best, so if you can do this in a water bottle it will be easier. If not, stir vigorously.
