Hey Lets Go GREEN!!!!!!!!

In the past couple of months, going GREEN has spread across the US like a potent stink bomb wafting through a middle school gym. It seems that everywhere you turn business, corporate executives, your friendly janitor, and of course Oprah are going GREEN.

My sincerest apologies if I sound a little bit bitter but it really bothers me that we as a nation, we are spending millions of dollars in ad campaigns in an attempt to create a fad where people should just do what it right.

In case you have not gotten a “sniff” of what it means to go GREEN here is the rundown:


Going GREEN is the practice of incorporating small changes in your daily life that will positively impact the environment and reduce your detrimental “footprints” on Mother Earth.

Going GREEN can include large or small scale changes such as replacing windows and appliances with EnergyStar approved equipment, using solar panels in your home, building your own compost pile which can be utilized for plant potting, using old newspapers to clean your mirrors and windows instead of paper towels, utilizing the same grocery bag when you go to the store, and cleaning your home with natural products such as lemon juice and vinegar rather than bleach and ammonia.

In addition to making external changes, you can also make GREEN choices in your diet and beauty rituals. For example, try to go 2-3 days out of the week without eating meat or high-processed foods. For the ladies, custom make your own hair conditioners from mayo, tea tree oil, eggs, and olive oil.

Happy GREENING!!!!!!!! Here are some more tips on Going GREEN!
