It's not easy being green...but there's so much we can do -
And when you become aware...you can make a difference too!

Something to say about Green


He maketh me to lie down in green pastures he leadeth me beside the still waters.

It Does Have an Impact

Since I've decided to become more aware of being "GREEN" I am also aware that what we do does have an impact on other people.
My husband, Leon, was never conscious of living a green life, but since I have been trying to be greener, it is having an affect on him also.
Once in awhile we used to use paper plates for snacks or even dinner, but now I notice he always grabs for the Corelle plates.  I've noticed many areas in which he is just as aware as I am and together we are working (at least in our home) to make this world greener.
We just ran out of paper towels and I plan on not buying anymore.  I have tons of wash cloths and kitchen towels, so we will try to manage and see how it goes.
Our compost is coming along nicely and we just planted our vegetable garden this past week.
Just seeing the stuff we accumulate that can't be recycled, I can now comprehend what our landfills and oceans look like from what everyone in the world is throwing away every day. 
But let's not ever think we can't make a difference!!!!!!
