I've found that the general consensus of green discussions with those that new to this, find that they think that they have to jump in with both feet or don't know enough to even start.
This is not true unless you just won the lottery and can afford to switch everything all at once and starting small grows to knowledge.
My GREEN PHILOSOPHY:
- Take little steps – as you run out of a product, replace it with a green(er) product.
- You do not need to break the bank switching things over. As you try new things you'll just might find that you like the 'greener' one much better. Remember that headache you used to get?
- Recycle, recycle, recycle – I can not stress this enough.
- Again you do not need to break the bank - use the blue plastic bags from the grocery store (yes these are recyclable too) and hang it somewhere convenient to put your recycle items in. You might just surprise yourself once you start doing this how much you really can recycle.
- Support biodegradable (but be watchful of 'green washing') - we will cover this later in this blog.
- Go organic as much as possible.
- Support your local organic farmers.
- Reuse/renew.
- Check out this blog for a way to reuse newspaper and make a gift bag out of it.
- Donate.
- Try www.freecycle.org.
