Greening Your Consumption Habits:A Simple Guide
We are all going to continue to buy stuff.I am not one of those environmentalists that think everyone should sit at home and just read a used book and watch the paint slowly yellow; it’s just not in my nature to be like that.Regardless of what happens around us,we still need to live – we still want to listen to new music,read a new book,get some new clothes.We still want to turn on a light bulb at night or take a hot shower…and I don’t begrudge anyone for doing so.Do you think I want to live in a hovel while contemplating where my next meal is coming from?No way!But there are very simple things we can do,and while I have talked about general steps one can take to be more green,what happens when it is time to go shopping?How can you reconcile your desire for consuming with your desire to be green?Hopefully a few of these will help you balance that equation.
