Greener Living for Greener Living

What is Green Living? We hear a lot about green living on an almost daily basis, yet many people aren't aware of what those very important words are really all about.

Green living, or living green as men refer to it as, is living your life in an environmentally responsible and eco friendly way in an attempt to decrease the ecological impact you'll make.

There are wide varieties of practices we can all take to conserve our resources and help keep our planet healthy. Some of the most common include sustainability, recycling, alternative energy sources, green construction, organic food choices and several other environmental topics. Becoming educated on green living and its impact on the environment is the first step towards each of us doing our part because it has to be a group effort. If we all want our children and grandchildren to live healthier lives, it needs to start now with us and needs to continue. Your local library, government agencies and the Internet are great sources of knowledge and information about green living and the part it plays in decreasing global warming and preserving the planet.
