GREENER BY THE MINUTE

I feel like the world I live in just caught up with the world I wanted to live in. Sure, the economy has been better and the newspapers have plenty of dreary news, but we are becoming more realistic in the way we live. Being from conservative roots, I was taught to leave a place better than how you found it (thanks, Dad). So recycling and conservation have been a way of life for me and I'm happy to see it becoming trendy. If feeling hip is what it takes for more people to embrace environmentalism, that's cool. The point is that we do the right things to ensure that we leave the earth a better place than when we found it.
