How Do You Go Green Without Being Extreme?

I lived in California over 2o years ago and the lifestyles and awareness about environmental issues were much more advanced than where I had grown up in Georgia. It was there that I first learned about recycling and conservation.

Having lived in many places since...including Okinawa, Japan where water conservation was a necessity, I've learned a lot about these topics.

Now, back in a small town in Georgia where it's quite difficult to recycle and buy organic and so forth, I've learned to adapt. I've regressed in my own habits and though I still feel guilt when I throw plastics in the trash, I sense a growing change in our community and in the United States.

It seem that rising gas and food prices are forcing us to be more economical. Therefore, I wrote a simple Squidoo lens on How Going Green Can Save You Money.

It's just the beginning of what I'll be sharing.

There are thousands of sites about Going Green on the internet, but this one will be different because it will be my personal experience as a mom who has decided to make a difference by making small changes being green but....not going extreme.
