Green, Live Green, Be Cool
by Leah Guy
Here's the deal...an eco-friendly lifestyle is a choice (an uber-cool one by the way) but it doesn't have to complicate your life. You don't have to put windmills in your front yard or spend your whole retirement on solar panels (although both options would be fantastically cool!) What you could do, however, is become more aware of fundamental environmental concerns, and with that be proactive to make a difference.
What we get from the Earth (and take for granted): The Air we breathe (fresh or otherwise) that keeps us alive Sunlight that sustains life, and brightens our day Glorious flowers and plants that line our parks, yards and streets Water to drink, wash our clothes, keep our lawns green and our bodies clean Raw materials that allow us to build houses, drive cars and fly to Cancun Beautiful Sunsets that appear without asking Trees that give us paper, firewood, furniture (and way-to-many grocery bags) Land that grows our food supply Wildlife, birds, This is a partial list - there are many others. Don't we have the time, desire and energy to give a little back? If everyone made one small change in their lifestyle, the effect would be HUGE. Think about what you can do this week, and do it.
Simple Steps to Green Living: Buy a canvas bag for grocery shopping to cut down For home energy savings, check out www.energystar.gov Replace your incandescent lightbulbs with CFLs (compact flourescent lamp) - you will save $$ and energy! Re-use plastic containers from your deli purchases...don't buy new tupperware every week Buy foods from Bulk Bins when possible - it's fun and saves on packaging Need new furniture? Check out recycled or bamboo options at www.2kh.com Eat Organic Be on the pulse of environmental living at www.treehugger.com Conserve water: Wash clothes with a full load - If you only have 2 items, hand wash and save 40 gallons! RECYCLE - Learn how at www.epa.gov/recyclecity/mainmap.htm Want a new car? Research the hybrid options Grow your own herbs and veggies in a garden, window container or even on a flat roof - get in tune with nature Find other great tips at www.greenappleguide.com I guarantee you'll feel good about the actions you take...a new sense of pride for Mother Earth.
Live Green. Be cool.
