When I learned about what we were doing to the planet, I started to change - had I not had a really good teacher in this space, I would never have known. Education expands our awareness and our consciousness to live better lives, and to understand that ultimately we are all in this together. What I do to the planet and others, comes right back to me.FMM: What can people who do not have the money for things like organic groceries, air filters, or bottled water etc, do to still try to live a healthier, green life? What%u2019s the best DIY project of yours that you believe people should do?SU: Great question! First off, you have to figure out your priorities. Many say they don%u2019t have the time or money, but you can always find a way. Cooking vegan food reduces your grocery bill enough to be able to afford organic produce. An inexpensive water filter jug can save you tons of money that you might otherwise spend on bottled water. It%u2019s always about making smarter choices. There are so many DIY%u2019s, but off the top of my head, if you make your own almond milk, you can save money. Actually, if you make your own everything, you can save money (hummus, guacamole, soups, jellies etc). Also DIY skin care can save a lot of money too.FMM: I know you are a yoga teacher-do you mainly do that to stay fit or what is your exercise routine?SU: I exercise in some way 6 days a week, and I change it up. Sometimes I do yoga at home (just 20 minutes), and sometimes I go take a Pilates Plus (LOVE) class, or go spin. I walk the dog every day.
