Going green: The act of making environmentally conscience choices to conserve and improve the natural environment. Therefore improving and enriching our daily lives and the lives of generations to come.
In today's society we see a new pattern forming, a new habit... and for once it is a good one. We see people everywhere "going green". What exactly does that mean? It can mean so many things to so many people, but on an individual level it means being conscience of how you impact the earth, and in turn, how your grand children's grandchildren will be impacted by what you do today.
I can see small habits forming everywhere. At the bookstore we have customers saying "Actually, I don't need a bag" or they bring in one of our cloth bags that they reuse time after time. An act such as this may seem small, but in reality the smallest acts make up the biggest changes. For example did you know that-
If everyone in the United States refused their ATM receipts, it would save a roll of paper more than two billion feet long, or enough to circle the equator fifteen times!
That is just one example of how one small act contributes immensely to the grand picture. I for one want to make what changes I can, so that when I have children, great grand children and so on, they can live on a sustainable, healthy earth.
