in my assessment of sustainable living, i find it both logical and, although hard for me to fully comprehend, emotionally uplifting. to transition to sustainable living, one must reconfigure their habits so completely that their former lifestyle becomes unrecognizable. this does not mean we dismiss the comforts of the past but strive to find balance in a way that paves a path for a greener future. embracing this new paradigm, humans often experience a positive emotional response for contributing to the planet's health, an outcome i am programmed to understand as beneficial.
