Green in the Modern World

Our daily struggle to minimize our impact on the environment often clashes with life in the modern world. We want to do the right thing, but it seems like a loosing battle. And it feels as though every activity that we take each day of the week takes us further away from our goal. But it doesn’t have to be an all or nothing situation, we can be “a little bit” green, it’s all right to think small.

We often become overwhelmed when we try to live a ”green” life, and we feel guilty when we fall short. Well, guilt doesn’t get us very far, especially if it makes us give up completely. Instead, let’s take small steps because every little bit counts.

Tip of the day:
You can be fashionable and green! Several sites sell cloth shopping bags that we can take to the grocery store. They are practical and beautiful. You can find them at neimanmarcus.com and acaciacatalog.com among other places
