Six great reasons not to go green: reason six – I have no idea where to start
December 28, 2008 by Jennifer
Getting started is the easy part of green, if you know where to look.
The best advice is to start small and incorporate green activities naturally into your world.
Basic ideas to get your brain pumping:
- 10 Super Tiny Baby Green Steps You Can Take
- How Kids Can Make A Difference: Saving the Planet from A to Z
- 100 Ideas for Your Green Family
- Five Great Green (and Easy) New Years Resolutions
- Free Green Home Poster
A few good books that will help you:
- Easy Green Living: The Ultimate Guide to Simple, Eco-Friendly Choices for You and Your Home
- It’s Easy Being Green: A Handbook for Earth-Friendly Living
- Wake Up and Smell the Planet: The Non-Pompous, Non-Preachy Grist Guide to Greening Your Day
I’ve read all three of the books above. All offer easy tips, no pressure, and yet still teach you something new. Another idea is to try a daily dose: Living Green Page-A-Day Calendar 2009 (Page-A-Day Calendars)
If you need ideas about organizations who promote green, and who can teach you a thing or two, check out the blogroll here at Tree Hugging Family. I’ve included plenty of organizations and blogs where you can learn more about green.
All you have to do is choose a few green steps, and then do them. The more green steps become normal to you, the easier it gets. You won’t have to think about carrying your reusable bags to the store, you just will. You’ll learn which products are good green choices, and which should stay on the shelf.
Does green living ever overwhelm you? What do you do then?
