About Peace of Mind

Hey there I am Brandon Taylor, a sustainability major currently working on finishing up my bachelors degree at Indiana University South Bend. I wanted to start the blog, Peace of Mind, because when I tell folks about my major, they seem to always wonder how they could possibly have an impact on the world. Well to them and to all of you, you already are making an impact on the world.

Every decision you make, item you purchase and mode of transportation you use either adds or subtracts from the problem. So I would love to help you all learn how to have a more positive impact and along the way I know I will learn quite a lot from the online community, so please send me a message, leave a comment, I would love to hear from everyone.

I came to understand what sustainability is from an introduction class in my second year. Up until then I had absolutely no passions for any career. I would constantly wonder how I could make an impact on the world and help others, then I saw what sustainability is all about. It is about improving the single bottom line of profit and adding to it, making it the Triple bottom Line. The Triple Bottom Line is all about People, Prosperity and Planet. That means that unless the Earth is healthy and the people on it are healthy and happy, then making money doesn't really matter. A great place to begin is at the Natural Step website, they have a lot of information that is well categorized and easy to digest.

I will post again soon with more information, until then I would love to hear what everyone wants to learn about, talk to you all soon.
