\n———————————————————<\/p>\n

I am thinking about what I am doing, this daily process, this idea of 21 days – and it\u2019s now making me think of sustainability, specifically sustainable energy.<\/p>\n

I find these words both literal and metaphorical in their implication.
\nI feel it would be worth exploring how my personal process of creative sustainable energy is mirrored in\/into a process of environmental sustainable energy. Possibly giving this a MIRRORED MICRO\/MACRO bent.
\nI\u2019m thinking of it less in the way of an individual recycling and reducing their carbon footprint to help reduce the global warming and more in terms of the creative process of the changes and shifts an individual goes through in order to maximize their personal energy & productive output and how that energy flows out and effects the world around them.<\/p>\n

This is a rough idea that I just came up with this evening. I\u2019ve been thinking about my interest in environmental sustainability, the related classes I\u2019ve taken at ITP, my general personal pursuits in this area, as well as the desire to educate myself even further in this area. This would be a good opportunity to do that. We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
