2. WHY SHOULD I “GO GREEN” ?
The truth is that everything single thing we do every day has
an impact on the planet -- good or bad.
The good news is that as an individual, you have the power to
control most of your choices and, therefore, the impact you
create. From where you live to what you buy or eat, and use
to light your home to where and how you vacation, to how you
shop or vote, you can have global impact.
Embracing a greener lifestyle isn't just about helping to
preserve equatorial rain forests, it can also mean improving
your health, reduce spending (especially in the long term),
and, ultimately, improving your overall quality of life. All that
and you can save furry animals, too.
Why wouldn't anyone want to green?
