So tomorrow is officially Earth Day and you know that everyone who is involved in the Green movement will have to do a blog about earth day... I just thought I would get my blog in the night before.

Interestingly enough, I was thinking about why I chose to focus on Green as a REALTOR.  One of the green features is the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle logo.  Obviously, some people think that Green People (is there such a thing as an actual Green person?) are tree huggers, environmentalists, obsessed about the environment etc, etc...  And quite honestly, the more I learn about the Green Stuff, the more I believe this is just the right thing to do.  I only have to go by the landfills, see the huge "mountain" from our garbage and become sold on the idea that to recycle is a much better option.  Not only is the stench unbearable but it saddens me to see that mountain that used to be a flat surface from all of us being lazy and not taking care of God's "green" earth.

Just to let all of you know, I do my best to recycle and reuse but I'm not an extremist.  I still have my faults and could probably do a much better job than I do right now.  But I do recycle those aluminum cans (I even pull them out of the trash can because my family is not as big on recycling) and I do try to conserve energy.  My issue is trying to get the others in my family to remember to turn off lights, TV etc...  There are seriously some nights where the TV downstairs has been left on with no one watching it and turned off when I go to bed at 11:00.  What a waste of useless energy.  Oh, by the way,  to wrap those two things together.  I once did an article on Shrek being Green and he said that by recycling 1 aluminum can that is equivalent to 3 hours of TV time.  That was amazing!!!

So, what's the point of this article.  The point is that you don't need to be a fanatic to help out the environment.   With everyone doing a little bit of recycling, we can all make a difference!  A little bit truly goes a long way!!!
