What made you decide to be Green? 

Everyone has their reasons...and they evolve.

For example, I started being Green because a friend of mine came over and told me that I could be saving money by switching from incandescent bulbs to flourescent.  Simple and easy change...so I did it.  Every time I needed to replace a bulb, I switched it for a flourescent replacement...including my recessed spots in my ceiling.

Not only have I lowered my electric bill, but I'm making life easier for my air conditioner, which runs about 11 months out of the year, here in South Florida. The fact that I have removed a big cumulative heat source from my home, in every room, means the A/C runs that much easier.

So my first shot at things was in the name of saving money...now, it obviously means a lot more.  I do believe in global warming, and I want to do my part to help.  No, I can't "save the world" myself, but limiting my gasoline usage is helping, too.  I just bought a really cool scooter (Genuine Buddy) and my gas mileage has changed from my 16mpg City to um...100+mpg!!!!  Yes, that's correct!  It cost me $4.31 to fill it up on Sunday, and here it is Wed. night, and I haven't even used a quarter of the tank yet!  From $85+/week in gas to $4+.

WOW!  Not only am I saving money here, but I'm also creating a LOT less polution and greenhouse gases. (Pat on the back, please!)

 

Anyway...what got you interested in being part of the solution?

Reading how the sea level will rise 21 inches by 2050 made me go green.
