Are You Willing To Do Your Share?

Are you worried about global warming? Is your family a part of the problem? Do you want to go green, but you don't have a clue on where to start? Are you confused over which light bulbs to choose or whether you're supposed to wash your clothes in cold or hot water? Do you wonder how to best insulate your house, what appliances are most energy efficient or where you should set your thermostat? Do you want to recycle, but feel like you are being overrun by newspapers, bottles and aluminum cans? Are you thinking of giving up your gas guzzling car for a hybrid? There are so many things to think about to do your share for a safer, cleaner environment.

The green constructed houses in Seattle were destroyed because they still weren't green enough. How much more can we do to ensure that global warming will slow down or even stop? The smallest things you can do, when added with your neighbors, family and friends, can do so much. Statistics show that replacing your lightbulbs with CFL bulbs is equivalent to removing several cars from the road. Even using natural cleaning products takes away harmful chemicals from waste areas, bays and oceans. When we flush harsh cleaning chemicals down the toilet or rinse them down the drain, they go right to the bays, oceans, rivers, etc. Replacing harmful cleaning products with natural products makes so much sense.
