The modern American life does not lend itself to being eco-friendly. It is too convenient to carry plastic bottles, throw everything in the trash, and zoom here and there in our 21 MPG cars. Although I want to do my part to make the earth cleaner and healthier, I must confess the messages out there are confusing, absurd, and often overwhelming. It can be downright crazy. In fact, I am not alone in these feelings. When I talk to most people I know, conservation and sustainable living is the last thing on their mind. Not because they don’t care but because their immediate needs of housing, food, work, family and transporation are pressing. Besides, there are only 24 hours in a day. So, in order to save my sanity, I’ve decided to journey to green one step at a time. This blog is an attempt to document that journey given time and budget contraints.
