Green living starts with you!

This is a section for trailblazers - for people who care enough about the health of the planet to sort their trash even though it is not yet compulsory by law, for people who are positive and proactive who can make it fashionable to live green!

People like you and me, in big and small ways, can make changes to leave a lighter footprint on the earth. In Green Living you will find advice on things you can do at school, at home and at work that contribute to this vision. Perhaps our lone efforts may seem insignificant at first, but together we can make a difference.

You already know how important it is to curb crazy consumption and the ceaseless buying of more ‘stuff’. We’ve also got to start teaching this to our children while they are still young – the world does not need more materialistic monsters! Green Living aims to give you ideas of things you can start to do now to simplify your life.

Don’t just stop at your household; get your friends, neighbours and schoolmates involved. There are other benefits too – you can go to sleep with a clear conscience and enjoy putting the accumulated savings to good use!

Your ideas

Do you have any fun and practical ideas on how we can reduce, reuse and recycle? Perhaps you have a success story of how you worked in a new habit or changes someone’s way of thinking.  Share you story: post your letter or comment here.
