Although many have speculated on the possible interaction between sustainable lifestyle practices and the well-being, or satisfaction, of practitioners, there has been limited empirical study of this connection. The purpose of this study was to explore how people experience satisfaction and frustration in conjunction with the practice of a sustainable lifestyle. Semi-structured interviews were completed with six sustainable lifestyle practitioners associated with Transition Victoria, a community resilience initiative in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Interview transcripts were synthesized into explanatory narratives highlighting experienced outcomes of a sustainable lifestyle practice. A further thematic analysis was completed to identify themes to which participants attributed meaning and potential satisfaction.

Welcome to the 116th Annual Meeting of the American Dairy Science Association . This meeting, first held in 1906 with 19 participants at the University of Illinois, has been held continuously since then . Our Annual Meeting has spanned two world wars, the Great Depression, and most recently the pandemic of the last two years . It is a tribute to our mem- bers, past and present, that we have been able to sustain this effort over the last 116 years to grow ADSA into the world's leading dairy science society . In the face of continuing uncertainty due to the pandemic, this year’s meeting is being held virtually, although we wanted to be with you in person . The development of the program for this year's meet- ing began last August and involved countless hours of volunteer efforts by our members, the overall program committee, and FASS staff . Kudos to our members and participants for their desire to share their scien- tific contributions, without which we would not be having this meeting .
