Resources for a Greener World

These days, more and more people are drawn to Greener Practices. Don't wait for someone in a position perceived to be "higher up" (such as in Business or Government) to make choices for us before we act. Join the growing number of people who are saying: "I just have to do something." Consumers have considerable power to transform our world if focused on areas of much needed change.

Taking on Greener Practices is sometimes a bit daunting in these times when things seem quite mixed up. Many businesses are getting on the bandwagon, not because they have a Greener Ethic or Skill, but rather because that is what Consumers want. Other businesses have been in this practice for decades, forging a path when it was not fashionable to do so.

How do we find a Path? These are practices that we 3 C's have found helpful:
  • Start small.
  • Start with practices which seem to be calling to you. These are the ones highest on the priority list. With them comes energy for action.
  • Get a Guide. That could be a Friend, a Neighbor, Someone who is a bit ahead of where you want to be.
  • Check out Community Businesses with Sincere Green Objectives and Practices.
  • Check out Local or Regional Resource Centers.
  • Head to a store which specializes in Organic Food.
  • Seek out Family and Friends who are drawn to the same practice. This can become an excellent support group and place where problem solving and play go into high gear.
  • Check out the non-profit GreenAmerica. We find GreenAmerica an excellent resource to center and filter information for our practice. If interested, check it out. These Folks care. They put their Resources into building a better world for us all. Your membership will go a long way. http://greenamericatoday.org/ http://greenamericatoday.org/about/
