Going Green

Over the last few months I have been making an effort to be environmentally conscious. It wasn't something imposed to me. It can't be. It should be something coming from your heart. One day, several months ago, I was taking my garbage out and I found myself mesmerized by the amount of trash I generated in a couple of days. Multiple that by 365, you do the math...
My approach has been "one step at the time". I knew I couldn't make major changes overnight. I have been taking baby steps, but even baby steps made a huge difference sooner than I thought. Every time I went to a home improvement store over the last few months, I bought fluorescent light bulbs. I have replaced all light bulbs, 3 at the time. I now buy concentrated cleaning products and try to find everything as natural and biodegradable as possible. I look for locally grown and organic produce. I am eating more meatless meals a week. I take my own tote bags to the grocery store. And the usual, recycling everything I can. I still have a long way to go but I feel that I am on the right path.
