Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Good thoughts are no better than good dreams, unless they be executed". Translated into today's language that equates to actions speak louder than words. Translate again to sustainability language, and eco actions speak louder than eco speak.So, how do you walk your talk? A recent Gallup poll shows 94% of Americans are aware of Climate Change issues and 75% feel something needs to happen. The next step is closing the gap between knowledge and personal action. With so much information on living green available, you may be asking yourself:
- Where do I even begin?
- What should I focus on?
- How do I know what if I am making a difference?
- Isn’t living green an all or nothing sort of lifestyle?
All valid questions and the truth of the matter is that you do not have to live a 100% sustainable lifestyle to make a significant difference. By pairing personal incentives with just a few sustainability concepts, you can reduce your carbon footprint almost immediately. Here's how.
