"It isn't is easy being green!"
The most important, and first step anyone interested in a greener lifestyle should take, is educating oneself about sustainable living. We all know we want to "save the planet," to "live green," or to become more environmentally conscious. However, knowing the right steps to take to achieve our goals can be difficult. Check out your local bookstore, library, or go online; there is a plethora of advice and information out there, waiting to be discovered. Educate yourself on the facts! Here's a list of some great sites offering tips on living sustainability... I would also recommend reading Lester Brown's Plan B 4.0 to anyone interested in moving towards sustainability.
The Daily Green.
Going Green Made Easy.
Super Eco.
Earth Easy.
Carbon Footprint Calculator.
It can be immensely difficult to break our energy hungry lifestyles, but the desire to change and save our planet's extremely limited natural resources is the only way to begin. Remember this, though: When you take into account your energy savings, the education you are getting and will be able to pass on, and the peace of mind you get from the knowledge that you are taking small steps to help the environment, going green can seem a whole lot easier.
