Green for a day

My cousin and I got together recently and we talked about food, energy, the planet, children (because she is having a baby in 17 days). While we chatted and chatted , I mentioned I would like to blog some of my thoughts. It seems like a great place to get feedback, but mostly I love to tell people what I think, whether they care or not. I guess I'm opinionated. It is not the worst thing, but I think all my friends have heard my BS once to many. So I'm venturing into new territory to see if someone else would like to hear it or comment on it.
Today's thing is I'm attempting to go green. It is my Gen X duty. Since it seems to me that our hippie parents were not so hippie after all. Blame it on the eighties. Anyway I'm reading some books and I'll see were it goes. As some people who might not know me. I try numerous new things all the time. Most of the time it goes no where.
Going green is not as cheap or as easy as one may think. I've done the simple and small things first. I've switched to compact fluorescent bulbs. I use reuseable totesand containers (mug or stainless steel) , and I've switched to natural bath products. That means all natural. No chemicals or words I can't pronouce or spell. I have a hard enough time spelling and speaking. If one person trys at least one act of greenery a day. We could be closer to a green planet. My next act is to try to go one day without cosuming. What does that mean for me. I will not buy my iced coffee tomorrow. I will be they only person in my office not running on Dunkin. UGH..... I will not be opening my wallet for anything gas or otherwise. we will see. I'll update tomorrow...
