Going Green in simple terms

Making the change to Go Green is not very simple to many consumers. Going Green is being advertised and talked about all the time, but some people just don’t care to change.

It is very difficult to make a change unless you understand that “going green” is not a change after all, it’s just going back to basics.

My family and I have been eco-friendly all our lives. Funny enough though, we didn’t do it for the environment, we did it for our pockets. We couldn’t afford to be wasteful and abuse on our resources.

Realizing how my parents and grandparents lived, makes me feel that going green is extremely simple. There’s nothing new about it. We just need to understand that it is simply learning how things were done in past generations. This can make a big difference in our planet and in our finances.

After so many years, I can clearly recall my dad yelling accross the house “turn off the lights!”,” shut the doors!”, “why is the TV on?” He was the electricity police. It was so annoying. He was so cheap. We will make fun of him by telling him he only breathed because air was free. Who would’ve known, now he is the cool man. Mr. Eco-Friendly.

My mom was just as bad. She refused to buy paper towels, and if she did, a roll will last almost a year. She will actually rince the paper towel and lay it to dry. I’m not lying. I learned how to turn on a dishwasher after getting married. My mother will use the dishwasher to store dishes. She’ll reuse glass containers to store left-overs. The cloth dryer was non existant. She will line dry instead. I don’t remember ever having disposable cups or plates in our house, not even for party’s. Times were tough, and going green was the way to live.

I definitely, didn’t continue all their practices. Times have changed, and I just can’t see myself not using the dryer, or discontinue the use of disposable diapers. There are some modern things that are just too convenient to let pass by. We can, though, re-condition ourselves to going back to basic practices. “Going Green” is easy. It’s just committing to make a couple of small changes in our own household. Just imagine the difference it will make in our environment, if each household in the United States (population of over 300 million) made a commitment to go green in just one way.
