Why I Am Writing This Blog
Going green seems like such a trendy thing to do, doesn’t it?
All in all, the concept seems wonderful. Every single person changing some of his or her small habits to improve the future of our Earth. It can’t be that hard, and really, wouldn’t we like to prevent the possibility of An Inconvenient Truth sequel?
And just what does it MEAN to go green? I set out to discover the truth.
Naturally, I checked Wikipedia.
Wiki explained that “going green” is “a concern for the preservation, restoration, or improvement of the natural environment…” yadda yadda yadda. Somewhat helpful, but I needed something less abstract.
I found this girl on YouTube.
To my absolute delight, National Geographic has an extensive website called The Green Guide, which offers a large volume of interesting articles on green (environmental, according to Wiki) topics.
In my initial research on The Green Guide, I was pleased to find a quiz that informs me which Eco Celebrity I am most like. (Ashley Judd, Will Farrell, and Michael Rappaport are just a few.)
Also, I can quiz myself on just HOW green I currently am. Fortunately they don’t grade that quiz.
I want to be a more responsible citizen, and I want to share my journey. Over the next few months, I will be making small changes to my lifestyle, and reporting them on my blog, Why Not Lime? I anticipate some shocking discoveries about interactions between people, consumerism, and the environment. I also expect to reveal just what a person has to do “go green”.
Keep checking my blog for my new “green” discoveries and information. Always feel free to share your favorite environmentally responsible tips as well.
