Green Daily

Every once in a while I think I'm getting so green, and then I notice how much trash our house has created in just one week. Or I can't figure out if it's better to get the non-organic but local strawberries, or buy organic ones that were flown in from God-knows-where.

The people behind GoGreen Online know that most of us are willing to go more green, but we don't know where or how to start. So they created an online resource center, with all of the "hows" along with all of the "whys" for five important areas:

• Energy
• Water
• Zero-waste
• Transportation
• Food

Even having the categories broken out like that makes me feel less overwhelmed. I can work with categories - compartmentalization is a busy person's friend!

It's just getting started - the site launched last week - but they hope to create a supportive and interactive community that bolsters the efforts of regular people to develop more eco-friendly practices.

Before you get bogged down in your next zero-waste attempt, or if you just wonder how the heck anyone can actually achieve zero-waste, visit GoGreen Online.

I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised to find out that a) you're not alone, and b) it's easier than you think, and c) there are lots of small changes you can make that will have a big impact!
