Green vs. Tan

There are a lot of things we can do to reduce our impact on this overstressed world of ours. But while every little bit helps, it's good to realize the difference between products and practices that are truly green and those which are...well...just a little less brown.

Take the previous post. Yes, refining our driving skills will save a little bit on gas and help our autos last longer. But it doesn't change the fact that we're still driving, which is pretty darn brown.

Driving's just one example. Others abound.

Take recycling, for instance. Sure, it's good to recycle. But wouldn't it be even better not to use so many resources to begin with?

As you go about your day, think about the choices you are making. Are your actions truly green, or are they really more like...tan?

Just food for thought.
