Looking for ways to go green, but not sure where to start?
The best place to start is at home. What tangible benefits can
you get by going green? Are you looking to save money on your
utility bills? Do you want to make sure you and your kids can
breathe easy at home by assuring you have healthy indoor air
quality?
Maybe one of your kids has asthma or is allergic to certain
chemicals. How about the pesticides you use around your home or
that are put on the food you buy at the supermarket?
The reasons you want to make a change is almost never just about
green. It's about creating a safer and healthier home for your
family, saving money by being more energy efficient, and protecting
your surroundings so you have a nice place to live.
More people would do this if someone just told them how !
Why Go Green?
We started in the 70's but soon lost our focus. Now we have a second
chance to get it right and work for a sustainable future.
Green
is the new popular catch word. You hear it everywhere, ad
nauseam.
But, just because it is overused, doesn't necessarily make it a bad
thing.
It is the term which connected many different, but related ideas and
movements. Some of these are:
- Environmentalism
There
are probably many more terms that can be connected with the Green
Movement. But, this list gives you a good idea of how all encompassing
the term has become.
Here you will find out why
going green is so important today!
We'll discuss the different ways to make your home energy efficient. Simple changes you can make to improve the air quality of your home. How to replace many of the toxic chemicals around your home with safe and non-toxic alternatives.
Once your home is in order, it's time to focus on the big picture. We will talk about why we need to rethink how we use our limited
resources. Discuss why we should make decisions based on
being good
stewards of our planet, instead of believing we deserve to exploit the
planet. We will show how the new green economy will create
new jobs,
careers, and entrepreneurial opportunities. And, how all of
this will
create a sustainable world that is less dependent on foreign oil and
will change our lifestyle for the better.
Let's get Started. Here are
some preliminary plans for the site:
- How to go Green
- Green Business Ideas
- Green Business Consulting
- Green Jobs and Careers
- LEED Building

I hope to make this site a place that you will want to visit often to get ideas,
and to share your thoughts and experiences in this new journey to create a sustainable future.
