I Actually Am Trying to Be Green

A personal story in the experience: I Am Trying to Be More Green
G rowing up, i have never really thought too much about protecting our environment or even realizing that we live in a world of limited resources.  But growing up and coming out of college with a biology degree, i have truly come to see that we are in a dire need of change in the way we live on this truly beautiful planet.  Imagine what beauty we once had in this world before we became industrialized with factories and wasteful products.  Strange to know that we are causing the loss of life through the extinction of various life forms and in living in our own lifestyles, we are causing more diverse forms of disease and infection to infiltrate our lives...

And in the hopes of trying to at least put a some what temporary barricade to an even more bleak future, it has been my personal goal to be more green than i have ever dreamed possible.  lol, starting from recycling, less time in the shower, using electrical sockets with switches so i could save energy by shutting it off when i leave home, i drive a hybrid car to save fossil fuels, and hell, i even use compost heaps to help in growing some of my own vegetables for food.  ^______^  if only more of my friends and family would follow suit, i would be one happy biologist/tree-hugger.  lol

so let us all try to be more green and find some way to possible hold off on a bleak future for such a beautiful planet we all live on.  ^_____^

Hi! I read your article and I was happy to know that there are people out there who are trying to make a difference. I'm trying to be green too, and I know it can be hard to convince people to follow your beliefs and your way of living, but you should keep trying.
Best wishes, Magda, Romania
