World's Greenest Homes - Planet Green - Discovery Channel - Shopping Guide

 

THE BETTER WORLD - Shopping Guide

WORLD’S GREENEST HOMES is a program on the Discovery Channel that is worth watching. I know how you must feel, because I feel it as well…

What difference does this “1” item that I buy REALLY matter?

The truth is that it does matter. It may seem like a trend and cliche, but it’s not some liberal hippie thing anymore, it’s a lifestyle choice. And it takes a lot of effort and consciousness to make any kind of a difference.

Society had the same response to recycling when it started, now it’s mandated in some parts and second nature for most at this point. The truth is that we create too much, waste too much and we don’t personally witness the ramification’s of this process.

The charts and graphs seem almost worthless at this point. Statistics the same. It’s a problem that is too large for us to comprehend. But we don’t have to be naive and unprepared. It’s programs like this that bring awareness, but also bring SOLUTIONS.

I urge you and myself to research our products. Use less. Think about the longevity of things you buy, but also the things that are disposed of. Don’t stop at the product itself, but what are the materials, where was it manufactured, how was it distrubuted, what are the lifecycle processes, and most importantly…IS THERE A BETTER DECISION I COULD MAKE.
