Welcome to "Living Green!"



Welcome to "Living Green!"

"Green" has become such a buzzword lately, I almost hate to use it. To my mind, "green" or "eco" living is simply sensible living.

When we live green, we free ourselves from many of the negative aspects - the garbage and waste - of modern life. It's a way to center ourselves and lead a more balanced, healthier lifestyle. And (despite the high cost of organically-grown food) green living is very often cheaper living - which frees us up financially, too!

Although I'm no saint when it comes to treading lightly on the Earth, I have, over the years, picked up a number of good habits and quite a few kernels of knowledge. And this seems like as good a time as any to spread them around.

I hope that "Living Green" will:
  • Encourage those of you thinking about making the switch to a more sustainable lifestyle to "just do it!"
  • Provide practical suggestions anyone can use to make their lives a little greener
  • Open up a green "idea exchange"
  • And give those of us who've been at it a while a little extra reminder that we're on the right track. (To put it nicely. In other words, sometimes we all need a little kick in the butt to remember to do the right thing. Myself very much included.)
Like it or not, the planet is changing. Let's get together and do what we can to smooth the transition!
