Sustaining Us

Going green has always been a passion of mine. It began in elementary school when my sister and I were the only kids using a fabric lunch bag with an earth decal to consume less. It wasn’t as hip as Anya Hindmarch’s “I’m Not a Plastic Bag,” and it certainly smelled worse, but it was a good start (thanks mom). Fifteen years later, I feel that my life can have a direct impact and I feel compelled to make a difference. Intergenerational issues aside, I think the problems facing Generation Y will only be addressed and ultimately acted upon by Generation Y and its successors. This blog is my search for a way to make a difference. If I can learn more about my place in the green order I’ll be happy, but more than that, I hope to offer an interesting perspective, from a green-minded Yuppie, in the process.
