Travel & Landscaping: May 2008 Archives
Going green is seen as a fad by some...a recent development...and something for corporations and communities to deal with. But conservation is at the heart of the green movement -- and conscientious folks have been at it for a very long time. The following note is an excellent look at the heart of green . . .
...I bet it isn't easy being Green. I do not care to enumerate
the sacrifices I've made over the last 40 years in order to
meet my own standards for living as environmentally soundly as I can
manage. These are personal decisions made to mesh with my own value
system, which includes viewing other parts of the Earth and its
inhabitants as being equal to myself. The most I feel I can ask of others
is to become conscious of what they are choosing for themselves.
Frequently, awareness initiates change.
Our collegues have made us aware of the issues regarding hydrogels and
their soy alternatives, so I leave you with Maya Angelou's famous "When
you know better, you do better."
