We all say we want to live green, and to some extent, we all do. Sometimes all we need is for someone to give us ideas. My goal is to be that someone. I want to inspire people to live green, and give them the ideas they need to get started. I'm not teaching all this to you just so you can go and nag other people to live green. I would love for you to spread the word, but I want you to be an example of eco-living, not just an advocate We need start developing habits that help, not damage, our environment.
I've been looking at a few books that have been giving me some awesome ideas. My current favorite is Generation Green (http://www.generationgreenthebook.com). The Green Book (http://www.readthegreenbook.com/) has also been recommended to me. The problem with some of these books, though, is that we read them and don't do anything about using any of the information, because its all just a bit overwhelming. If we do try and do anything, we often try to do too much, and when it all collapses, we feel hopeless and reduce our efforts. The trick with books like Generation Green and The Green Book is to take two or three tips and try to follow them. Once they're part of your routine, pick a few more to work on.
We aren't going to become green all at once, we have to work for it. But if we work for it, it is well within our reach.
