Steve,

I propose a 30-day trial of sustainable (or better!) living.

Veganism may be the single most effective change an individual can make for the environment and you've done a spectacular job in that regard, both as an individual and in sharing with others.

Now that you've done such a good job in that area, it would be great to see you explore other aspects of sustainability in detail.

To quote your Getting from a 7 to a 10 article - if you're currently at a 7 or 8, what would a 10 look like?

You wanted a topic that would be both an interesting growth experience and be of value to your readers.

Sustainability is of value to everyone - not just your readers, but through them to the rest of the world. It's a huge topic, and one which many individuals have no idea how to start tackling. Blazing a trail in this area it would open the doors for your readers to follow.

As a growth experience, it's a huge topic and I imagine there are many aspects of it that you could learn a lot more about (and share with us!).

Personally, I suspect that there are numerous opportunities and possibilities that you haven't even conceived yet.

Maybe there aren't. Maybe there really is minimal room left for improvement. But isn't exploring that exactly the sort of thing that 30 day trials are for?
