Green Living
In a world that is finally seeing effects of it’s continued abuse of natural resources and the continued denial of the adverse affects of using contaminants, air pollutants and downright wastefulness in our daily lives; it’s my opinion that we ALL have a responsibility in making an attempt at creating the much needed balance between living our lives, and living “Green.” Green living promotes a sense of accountability and perhaps more importantly, it creates resource sustainability. Green living offers a cleaner way of life designed to offer protection to the earth from the waste created by our generation, by shifting our focus from just making choices to making more environmentally conscious choices. Green living clears a cleaner path for the generations that will inherit any environmental mess we leave behind. Personal contributions to a Greener way of life can be large or small, but they ALL make a difference in our “ ecological footprint.”
My contribution to a sustainable way of life starts at home with recycling and using products that are free of harsh chemicals & earth damaging pollutants. I also take Green living to work through the bikes I ride and sell. Varsity Bike & Transit went Green beyond everyday work when we chose to use recycled materials in building the Varsity Bike & Transit store. Varsity Bike & Transit also takes-in and recycles used bikes and bike parts at the store. It’s our hope to lead by example, and share what we know to be a more sustainable way of life with our patrons, friends, and neighbors. In our line of work, they are often one-in-the-same.

So,I am totally agree with your perspectives on green living,but,I think the more important thing to do is to find out some methods to achieve this goal instead of just saying,right?
