It's True

Today is the first day of the rest of green life. Each moment we spend taking extra care of those around us - our community and our land - is another day greener. I know I hear often on my road trip that green is over used. I can understand that perspective, but ideas get old fast these days. Green is not like that super cool tank top that you bought last year and dug out of the closet. Standing in front of the mirror, you realized you had changed or this tank top had become way to stretched. Man, was it out of shape.

Green isn't like that. Green is sustainable. I know we like to think of green as just eco or all about the environment. However, there is much more to it. It's not just like the tree you see above. One of the many views I had during my Oregon and Washington section of Sustainable 1000. No, it's people working, playing and enjoying their lives.

So as we consider changing our lives one small step at a time, thing about the next 100 years and your kids kids kids. That's what our actions are for right now. True, we have to live, but a little more consciousness now means a better life our great grandkids.
