G is for Going Green

Well, if we were playing Scattergories, I'd have double score! Yeah, that's right!

Going green is something I've heard about for some time, but I don't know that it something many of us either fully understand or embrace. I know I want to live a green life. So far, I'm proud to say that we recycle (Thank you city of O'Fallon) and we moved where we did in order to save on driving. I live really close to work and Doug lives about the same as before. I also try to select products made from recycled goods and I recycle my old clothes, computers, etc. in the proper ways.

But going green seems to be about so much more than that. It seems to be a real lifestyle choice. They even have green communities cropping up all over the place. What once seemed a trend or just a buzzword is now very visible and seems to be lived by large sectors of the population.

It feels like a new world and I want to join it, but I'm so unsure as to how to proceed.
