Changing your green footprint

We all are talking about greening our lives, yet what does that really mean concretely?
The only thing I’ve noticed in my life in the past few years is recycling boxes. True, when we set out to buy a new car we were concerned by gas mileage, yet I wonder if that wasn’t more because of the price of fuel vs carbon emissions?
Our children are more sensitized than we were yet frankly they hold little power in the scheme of things except to convince us to look at hybrid cars. Fact is that we won’t change our choice of cars necessarily because they are hybrid unless they suit the other needs and wants we have for ourselves.
In a world where every little bit counts, I invite you to examine your life and see where you have made a change. If you haven’t, consider reading this to give some perspective. Its a very insightful article about the subject.

    PS: We now just need to find a way to recharge the batteries using solar energy :)
