Why I'm Green

Whether you're black or white, a red Republican or blue Democrat - there's no reason you can't be Green. I think it's important I take the time in this blog entry to explain why I'm green and why I think each of us ultimately should care enough to go even a little bit green.

I was listening to a radio show the other day when one of the on-air personalities whipped out a "Top 10 Ways to Have Environmentally Conscious Sex" list. Tips included purchasing organic cotton lingerie, showering together to save water, etc. Albeit funny, this list was a bit ridiculous.

I'm not expecting myself or all humans to make unreasonable sacrifices to be a bit more green. But I do have a hard time hearing that some friends/family members don't do the easy green things, such as recycling and switching over to LED light bulbs. The way I see it, whether you believe in climate change or O-Zone depletion shouldn't effect your decision to preserve the environment. As far as we know, there's only one Earth. We certainly won't be around forever, but many generations will. Why not do something now to help protect this one Earth and preserve the generations of the future?

What's your reason for being green? Please share below!
