Make One Green Change This Week

Make up your mind that this week you are going to make one change that will help stop global warming.

How about replacing a regular bulb with a compact fluorescent one?

How about using a reusable mug for coffee at work or when you purchase coffee at a coffee shop during coffee break?

If you haven't seen An Inconvenient Truth, how about inviting friends and family over to see it?

How about trying a recycled paper product this week, like paper towel, napkins or toilet paper?

Whatever you decide to do, tell someone about it, give yourself a deadline and then do it.
Once you make a change to help the environment, you will feel good about it. That will make it easier to change something else.

Because a co-worker asked our manager to set up a Green Committee at work, I am now part of the Green Committee. I also started reading about global warming and related topics, making changes at home, and writing letters to the editor (only two sent so far) and letters or emails to politicians.
