New Project
It’s been a while since my last post. In that time I finished a stressful quarter of graduate school and then spent about a month traveling around for the holidays. Ever since I finished my last eight week project I wanted to start another to investigate some topics that I didn’t get around to the first time. This quarter of my graduate program looks to be much more relaxed than the last, so I feel that this is a good time to get it under way.
For the next eight weeks I’m going to do everything I was doing before (save the cold showers *shudder*), along with some new tricks that I think will be interesting. First, I’m going to focus even more on food, by practicing veganism instead of just vegetarianism (vegans don’t eat any animal products, including milk, cheese and eggs), as well as avoiding overly packaged or processed foods. I’m also going to be a bit more concrete in limiting my driving, by staying below some goal number of miles over the eight week period. One of the things I’m most excited about trying is vermicomposting, which involves starting a worm farm to compost one’s food waste.
I hope the results are helpful and insightful!

Hi Josh, I am a new acquaintance of Julie Lewis and yesterday she told me about your blog. The title “8 weeks of clean living” is very catchy. I am intrigued and eagerly await the vermicompost results! I have the luxury of outdoor space so my compost piles degrade without assistance but I am sure the worms would speed up the process. I use the compost to amend the vegetable garden soil and to start seedlings.
Great blog.
