i'm a seattle girl.
i come from a green state--at least my half of the state.
i come from tree hugging, granola eating, outdoor loving, recycling people.
in fact, we've nicknamed my dad "the recycle nazi" because at our house,
there are 4 categories of trash and we are expected--no, required to know exactly what waste management allows in each trash category.
he has even been known to go through the trash and pull out recyclable or food waste items to put them in their proper place.
for the sake of the earth. for the sake of "green."
don't get me wrong--i love this about my dad.
i feel bad throwing recyclable items away in my little provo apartment, but alas, there is no recycling available.
i may or may not be becoming an energy nazi. but, i feel okay about this.
besides saving energy by turning off lights and unplugging unused cords, i am saving $money$.
which is a good thing, considering our electricity bill comes out of our pocket.
anyway, my friend from study abroad, marissa, has started a blog...
http://www.its-easy-being-green.blogspot.com
i am not a ridiculous green fanatic. i do love the earth, but i also love splurging sometimes.
and yeah, i'd like to try to do my part.
the thing i love about this blog...
because have you ever searched for "green" websites and blogs? there are hundreds, maybe thousands
...is the fact that she is a student providing doable, helpful suggestions
to live a little greener and give back to mother nature just a little more.
not asking you, like many sources, to donate
an arm, a leg, and your first born child
to save a tree and maybe a fish.
the point is, i like her philosophy: we can all do a little more.
i like her blog too.
you should check it out.

ReplyDeleteWell I feel like a million bucks! That just made my day, you have no idea! I cannot tell you how many times I've toyed with deleting my blog because I thought no one looked at it...so thanks for letting me know I'm not wasting my time.
