Green As You Can Be

posted by jax1215 on Apr 22

This is the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day. I remember the first one and how I thought “it’s about time” I have been green my whole life and have been teased, ridiculed and sometimes supported. I had a Scout Troop for 13 years and the one thing I always stressed when out and about was to always leave a place better than you found it. I just hope those girls (now in their 30′s and 40′s) have remembered and passed it on to their children.

I’ve been lining up new shows for this season and had an opportunity to talk to our county extension office and Keith Wood said something that really hit home. People think that you have to invest a lot of money and make big changes to be green and that is not the case. It’s the little things we do every day that make the difference.

So, today, change one thing toward being green. Take you own reusable bags to the store, change out your light bulbs to energy saving ones, plant a small garden, car pool (even one day a week), turn out lights, etc. I’m sure you have more ideas than I could ever list.

You can make a difference.
