Hi class!

Okay, so the final project for my class, (see this if you don’t know what I mean) is on Thursday, and I can’t make it because of a work commitment. So this post is my very special shout-out ot all the members of From Blogs to Buzz in case they check it out while I’m not around. Hey guys! Show yourself around and enjoy. The blog is a mashup of environmental living tips and ways to stretch your budget in NY. Hope you find something useful. There’s posts for theater lovers, sports fans, foodies, and fashionistas. I’d love to hear comments with more suggestions, so chime in with things I’ve left out.

Kicking it Off

First things first: everything is relative. I want this blog to be a useful resource for people who are: a) concerned with the environment; b) looking to stretch their budget in New York; and c) not monks. That last one is really important. Living green on a budget can lead to drastic measures like freeganism, or No Impact Man. That’s not what this is about. That said, the “high life” does not mean this blog will teach you how to find a 2000 sq ft loft in Tribeca for under $1000 and spend your nights getting bottle service with the celebrity chasers in the Meatpacking District. For my purposes, the high life is a reasonably comfortable living with some extras and perks that might seem out of reach without a Wall Street salary. God knows I’m not the first to come up with almost any of this stuff, but hopefully pulling it together in one place will be interesting enough for anyone in a similar situation to keep reading. And I am always grateful for tips on how to improve…so if you see something I miss, then send it my way. Alright, that’s plenty long enough for an intro. Enjoy the blog!
