Going4Green: A reason not to take out the trash

In 2008 US residents generated about 250 "million" tons of trash. About 33% of that trash was recycled.

In our house we recycle about 75%... What steps are you taking to recycle?

Welcome!

Going4Green is a blog that I have created in order to share my love for and dedication to the environment.

I will be listing “green” websites and will include a brief review of these links.
I will also periodically add product information – including my own testimonials for items that I’ve used and assessed within my own home.

My philosophy with green:

Take little steps – as you run out of a product, replace it with a green product. You do not need to break the bank switching things over.
Recycle, recycle, recycle – I can not stress this enough.
Support biodegradable (but be watchful of 'green washing') - we will cover this later in this blog.
Go organic as much as possible.
Reuse/renew.
Donate.
and lastly – questions are encouraged!! I’ve been doing this for a very long time (before ‘green’ was in) and have a wealth of knowledge to share.

Please, if you have any questions or topics you’d like me to cover I’d love to hear from you.
