Green has been the word du jour the past few years and just like any new trend its true meaning is often lost in hype. From organic t shirts that sometimes leave a bigger carbon footprint than purchasing that plain old cotton t shirt to trying to remove plastics out of your life without going nuts, I thought I would touch upon some of the more practical ways I'm aiming stay GREEN.
Most of us have converted to reusable grocery bags and Nalgene bottles instead of plastic ones.
A few other GREEN ideas I have incorporated include:
biodegradable FLOSS
biodegradable garbage bags
environmentally friendly soaps, detergents
unfortunately i dont use public transit as much as I did when I lived abroad, but i found a website entitled Environmental Graffiti that show cases some very creative ways people are being more GREEN. My favorite is the dog powered tricycle.
It's true that tiny choices can make big impacts and all without feeling like you have to have a drastic change in your life!
PHEW!
