Going Green

So, it seems the idea of "going green" isn't just for hippies and tree huggers anymore. More and more people are coming around to the idea that those 3 Rs aren't just for kids and idealists and are actually changing their lives in a variety of ways to be kinder to Mother Earth. I'm sure there are even people who don't realize their lessened environmental impact, yet find themselves reducing, reusing, and recycling their way through their financial hardtimes (those 5 cent plastic bottles add up over time!).

I've always thought the environment was a pretty neat place and recycled scrap papers and pop cans, but had no idea how much more I could do with a little creativity and time. I recently started a job researching environmental choices and have had my eyes opened by the degree of negative impact some everyday projects can have on the animals, plants, and other people around us. I hope that as I learn more, I can share my ideas and findings with you or, at the very least, have a list of reasons why it's so important to continue down this green road I'm on.
