As part of my things that would be good to do in the new year, I’ve been more environmentally conscience in my every day life. For example, whenever possible, I don’t use any plastic bags. I’ve bought some reusable bags for grocery shopping and I carry my messenger bag with me most anywhere I go so I can always throw things in that when I need to. I’ve also tried to not drive as much, to emit less pollution (and also because the price of gas is ridiculous). Being environmentally friendly has also extended to my purchasing decisions. Whenever possible, I also try to by things that are environmentally friendly and use some type of recycled material. My latest environmentally friendly purchase is a notebook by ecojot. It’s made from 100% recycled paper and it’s also made in Canada (bonus!). It’s a pretty cool little spiral notebook.

I had intentions to get a Moleskine, however it was expensive and it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. So when I found this notebook, I was pretty happy.I’ve been looking for a notebook to jot down notes ever since I got back from my trip. I had a notebook with me on the trip, however it was bigger than I had liked and when I returned back home, it was pretty much filled up anyway. I always like to carry a notebook with me in case I come up with brilliant (or sometimes not-so-brilliant) ideas. Even more so now because I’m always coming up with photography ideas. Now I just need to find a bag for my MacBook Pro and I’m all set. That, plus a digital SLR camera.
