Stumble It!
We hear the phrase, ‘going green’, everywhere. We hear on television, radio and read in the newspaper and magazines, but do we really know what it means?
It is simply another way of saying, ‘environmentally friendly’. If you recycle or try to conserve energy, you are actually ‘going green’. It is about saving our natural resources and there are many ways we can contribute. You do not necessarily have to live on a farm, to be environmentally friendly. Just making simple changes to your life will benefit you and the environment.
Here are some ways to start ‘going green’:
- recycle - paper, plastics, glass
- use energy efficient light bulbs
- walk more or ride your bike - getting exercise and conserving
- carpooling, or mass transportation such as bus or train
- switching electric off when not in use
- limiting shower time
- purchase from local farmers
- re-use shopping bags or use cloth bags
This is just a start but, every little bit will help the environment. So, let’s start today - going green.
Until next time,
