Turning a new leaf... have I reached my limit of leaf references?

I've been writing about environmental issues and projects for a while now— 2.5 years actually. However, change is good: I've decided to end my undergraduate career with a different tone. My new column in the Observer is called "Cleveland is the reason I'm cool" and is comprised personal experiences in Cleveland that have contributed to an exceptionally exciting four years. No one ever believes that Cleveland is actually fun, unique and thriving. I aim to prove that this town is worthwhile.

One More! New HGTV article published: The 10 Greatest Cycling Cities in America

Dear readers, I have one more "10 Best" article under my sleeve, and this one is "The 10 Greatest Cycling Cities in America." I love that I was able to write about alternative modes of transportation for HGTV online. It's a topic I am certainly passionate about, and I think there is significance to being able to reach a broad audience through HGTV's network and strong online presence. A lot of in-depth research went into these articles, and I interviewed some really awesome advocates and cyclers. The article is copy/pasted below, including a link to the published article on HGTV's website. If you're into slideshows, I would highly recommend reading the article directly on the site.

Also found here:  HTTPS://WWW.THRILLIST.COM/EAT/PORTLAND/UNDERRATED-RESTAURANTS-IN-PORTLAND-HIDDEN-RESTAURANT-GEMS BY MICHELLE UDEM AND DAN SCHLEGEL People in Portland love to talk about food. Specifically, they love talking about the same food. Over and over. So much so that, in the constant barrage of foodie-speak, reviews, and buzz, certain restaurants get lost in a sea of hype and repetition. Sometimes, the mark of a good restaurant has nothing to do with trends or what your foodie friend says you should be eating. Sometimes -- and this is wild, so bear with us -- the mark of a good restaurant is that it makes great food. These are the 14 most underrated restaurants in Portland.

Due to an uptick in requests for new blog posts, (I mean, it's only been like, two years) I'm starting this thing up again. You could say I'm starting 'from scratch', but that would only be true in one sense. Back to the point- this post is on 'From Scratch' but I'm going in a new direction. In the past two years, and perhaps even longer than that, I've realized that sustainability and environmentalism isn't reading or writing an article, or recycling, it's a way of life. It's an adaption of a mindset and habits. Thus, I'd like to focus my blog on a new concept- I propose "One/Day" or "One a Day", like the women's vitamin, but not in vitamin form. I'm going to post at least  one new thing I learn, discover, re-learn, or just want to share with you guys. There will be less of an emphasis on sustainability or green-ness, and more of an emphasis on a life pro tip to share. Less pressure = more creativity,
