Green Options

Continuing to subsidise high-cost, high-polluting, potentially exhaustible domestic energy doesn’t seem like a good way to help vulnerable groups in society to establish a better life.

What does it mean to be green? With snow covering the ground this time of year, it’s hard to imagine the color green! I asked my three year old Henry and he told me it was a color. Duh. A color with many shades. I looked out the window but all I see is white. Imagining the green grass I wonder,  can’t we all be some shade of green of this New Year?

I don’t profess to do everything “green”. I try to make everyday choices that I feel are safe for me, my children and for the environment. I recycle and try to not be wasteful with electricity. I unplug items that are not in use. I turn my SUV off when I’m not in it. Yes, an SUV! See, I’m not 100% Green but I am a shade and everyday this shade varies. I write this to show people that you can do something and be some shade of green.  Being Eco friendly and living a green lifestyle, buying organic and choosing natural toys - isn’t always easy, but it is possible.
