Renowned writer and environmentalist Wendell Berry once wrote: "The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope."
Through my own actions that model green living, practicing sustainability as a core values, and considering the impact of my actions I am trying to best to serve as a steward of our unique and irreplaceable Earth and everyone who inhabits it.
By advocating for fairness in the treatment of all living things, making decisions for the common good and our environment, I endeavor to do my part: recognize the importance of green living; choosing conservation and sustainability efforts including: buying wind-generated electricity; generating solar power; using green cleaning products and methods; recycling whatever we can (from paper to printers); replacing many of the toilets and light bulbs with green living in mind; and using our buying power to support local and organic farms and producers.
Small steps towards a greener planet.
