If you spend enough time watching the news, then you already know that our world has a long list of problems. Many of these issues, especially the environmental ones, seem so far out of our reach that we doubt whether or not our personal efforts will ever make a difference.

The good news is nothing could be further from the truth. There are a lot of things we do everyday that make a significant difference for a whole list of reasons. One of those things is controlling our food waste. This is far simpler than you think and the best part is that our actions have an immediate impact.

One of the advantages of working in different cultures is that you gain a completely different perspective on life. You step outside of your daily routine, experience different values, eat different foods, and make new friends. But such experiences also help you to realize some of the pitfalls of your own society.

One of my favorite places to live and work is the Caribbean. People seem much less stressed. They have a much slower pace of life and never seem to worry much about getting things accomplished right now. In fact, one of their favorite mottos is “rush slowly.”

While such a lifestyle may not be for everyone, I do think we can learn a lot or at least gain a new perspective from such a lifestyle. So join me for E262 The Art of Slow Living.

Welcome back everyone to the Adventures in Sustainable Living Podcast. This is your host Patrick and this is E262 The Art of Slow Living.

Over the past couple of years, you have listened me talk about a wide variety of topics focusing on sustainable living. While researching these topics, I have repeatedly come across articles that would condemn us for destroying the planet with the end message focused on how we should change the way we live.

What I have notice over that past couple of years is that trend of what sustainable living focuses on is starting to shift in a good way. As we approach 2026, sustainable living is shifting towards practical, consistent actions rather than perfection, emphasizing local, social, and achievable changes that tend to foster well-being and environmental protection.
