Less is More, do the eco.nomics

Although I have been eco-conscious for the past 38 years with purpose, we ache for more proactive measures by many more citizens in North America and throughout the world. Many countries have already met clean air standards but most have not budged or come close.
It is our responsibility to educate ourselves. Awareness + acceptance should lead to action. There are so very many action items we can do to improve the health of our environment that do not CO$T us. If you are at all cognizant of the climate change and resulting damage to our environment, please ‘Google’ how to be green and you will be inundated with solutions.
Easier yet is simply making time to sit down and list your habits. It will enlighten your awareness of how you can immediately become an eco steward. Consider your water, energy and transportation use along with your eating habits. Yes, virtually all actions we take can be controlled to create efficiency, reduce expenses and reverse the destruction rate of our environment today. AKA conservation and sustainability.
Adapting our attitude and challenging ourselves to save both natural resources and our money is a very good thing. Why is it then, most people simply don’t adjust the attitude to be one of supporting the environment while improving their future? Could it be fear, laziness or making a choice to not give anything up, aka greed and ignorance?
When we spend more time respecting the welfare of our planet and others first, it ‘automagically’ improves our economy. Consider this, if at home, you choose to switch where you buy your toothpaste, floss, laundry detergent, childrens health, your supplements and fabric softener to http://Melaleuca.com you receive huge benefits.
Why? You choose to use non-toxic, safer, less expensive and far more effective products. That simple. Access an online store, discipline yourselves to know what your household shopping needs are ahead of time and place a monthly order. With the shipping, your costs remain in line with grocery store brands or less.
If you ‘do the eco.nomics’, make smarter decisions that are eco friendly and improve the health of the habitants in your home, it proves you care and do make a difference in our healing world.

The Green Organisation is an independent, non-political, non-activist, non-profit environment group dedicated to recognizing, rewarding and promoting environmental best practice around the world.

They are best known for organising The International Green Apple Environment Award campaigns - one for environmental best practice, and one for enhancing their built environment and architectural heritage. The award winning papers are included in the Green Book, which has become an invaluable reference to environmental professionals around the world.

Here are, but a few, of their other credits:

Get your kit off… collecting unwanted sports kits and recycling them to Third World countries, an initiative now adopted and operated by the BBC.
Nearly new technology… Rescuing replaced computers, repairing them and re-housing them to schools, voluntary groups and others who cannot afford state-of-the-art equipment but find the good-as-new technology perfectly adequate for their needs.
School twinning… A campaign to link British schools with similar establishments in emerging nations. One of their aims is to recycle educational materials from the UK to the impoverished schools overseas.
