Well,
Now that I have started, there's nothing left to do but start writing posts right??
SO here goes...
I mentioned in my first post that my top three focuses in life at the moment are:
1: Going GREEN
2: Getting more crafty, and
3: Getting off my ba-donk-a-donk butt & get RUNNING!
Today, I will focus on Numero Uno. Number One. My big bee in my bonnet...
GOING GREEN!
So why blog about it??
Because I have no idea HOW I'm going to do this!
Usually, when I make a grand statement like " I'm Going Green" my first thought is
"Holy Moly....where on earth do I begin, there's so much I need to do!"
And then I think all kinds of things like
Now that I'm 'Green' do I have to turn off the heater?
Which is better...should I give up buying bottled water, or stop taking baths?
Ideally, I should do both..but I then I think of ALL the things I should do...
And then I get overwhelmed and do a big fat NOTHING!
And that's BAD, very BAD :(
I need to work out just how far I am prepared to go to be Green.
SO......
Where do I go to get solid information?
Information about PRACTICAL stuff, you know...stuff I can actually DO.
Stuff that won't take up hours & hours of my time, and stuff that ACTUALLY makes a difference.
You all know I LOVE to read. So throw em at me peeps...hit me with anything you may have read/watched/heard about that got YOU thinking about being more Green.
What have you seen/heard or read lately that motivated you (or even motivated you to think about getting motivated)
If you want to check out a few things I have read lately, you can go here, to check out a great resource.
And, you can go here or here to read a couple blogs about minimalism...
Minimalism is what started my brain clogs turning over about all this in the first place. I think it is a really cool concept & something I'll be working towards.
But for now, lets start with what we already do....
My thoughts at the moment is that no effort is too small.. so let me know what it is YOU do.
What you do every day, some days, some weeks, or just once. I really want to know!
If we all do it...your little effort, will become a HUGE effort. And the world will be happier :)
And then I will be happier because I will be closer to my Number One Goal!!
Let me have it......
Hey Hanna,
ReplyDeleteI am pretty committed to recycling at home but the city I live in doesn't do recycling pick up for businesses. Now I manage and insurance office and we create a heck of a lot of paper so I started bagging the recycling and taking it home once a week to put out with our residential recycling. Now I feel a lot less guilty about what we consume at the office :)
Love your new blog :)
Recycling is a GREAT thing to do :)
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you bag up your waste & take it home. In an office like that I'm sure a lot of paper goes to waste.
GOOD ON YOU Deanna!!
My office doesn't have recycling either...so I am going to be a great big copycat & do that too!
Thanks for reading :)
