Going Green

I'm sure you have heard this new phrase or even seen it on a tee shirt or two. Yes people, we have entered an environmentally conscious era and this time is COOL to be eco-friendly. Since becoming a by default Environmental Science high school teacher, I have opened my eyes up to a world where there is so much information out there about how we can save ourselves from the previous mistakes we have subjected our mother...our world....our habitat (and others) out EARTH to. So what does this mean exactly?

Global climate concern have become a major issue amongst people who seem to be aware that our everyday routine, movements, decisions may be having an effect on our environment. We should definitely become more concerned about how we will live normally after all of our natural resources are depleted! Not to scare anyone but this is the truth! Energy production involves fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) are affecting our environment in a negatively as well as affecting our future quality of life!

The GREEN MOVEMENT is made up of a group of ever growing consumers just like me and you! These consumers are doing research and thinking about how their life can change if the make more choices based on whether or not products and services are earth friendly, ethically produced and made, recyclable and energy efficient.

Now you can go plant a tree, start sorting out paper, aluminum and plastics in your trash or just even take shorter showers. But how about start saying the environment without even thinking about it....and being beautiful while you do so!!
