I've been thinking a lot recently about the impact I personally make on the Earth... and I started feeling really guilty. It's not that I don't know about reducing, reusing and recycling, it's just that I sometimes forget. Or get lazy. Or just plain don't realize there may be a better way of doing things. Well, as I embark on my 30th year here in this world, I decided to change that.
My passion in life is education in all shapes and sizes. I don't believe true learning happens in a classroom, but in the world as part of our everyday choices and interactions. The more information you have, the better equipped you are to make a decision- bottom line. When you are given the opportunity to make an informed decision, you can embrace this choice and take ownership of your actions. If these actions become more focused on lessening our impact on our Earth, "green" won't just be an adjective. It can become a verb, YOUR verb.
This blog is my attempt to spread green knowledge so you can have as much information as possible before you just do what you've always done. Perhaps once you see there are other choices rather than just throwing something away for the next individual to deal with, you too will start to feel a bit guilty and make some small changes. One day maybe those will turn into your new way because you've been shaken out of auto-pilot to focus on what you're consuming and disposing of on a daily basis.
No matter what the outcome, I look forward to teaching you some things, and learning myself along the way. My goal is not to simply re-post information or to preach about being more environmentally friendly. I will, whenever possible, test the topic I am writing about so that I too can decide if this is something I want to embrace as a lifestyle change or if it's not for us right now.
I truly hope you enjoy our adventure together.
