1/1/11: A Greener Start

Welcome to my new blog, Living 365 Green Days. After completing a year of offering "Greenie Tips" daily, I decided to write this blog. Why? because I realized a few things: being "green" is a lifestyle, a daily way of changing the way you live; applying greenie tips; becoming "greener" is a daily activity that works along with having a desire to be a better person and living green requires an "authentic" approach to understanding, learning and evolving. In addition, I had already decided to add the activity of writing a log of my daily work as an entrepreneur, much of which will include green topics.

In this blog, I will write about my days and what "green" and "sustainable" activities I engaged in. My writing will include tips, daily routines, work and classes. 

A Greener Start:
Today, January 1, 2011, I submit my annual Green Goals or my Green Initiatives. This list compiles my plans to darken my shade of green in 2011. Each goal includes a strategic approach and a planned completion date. I look forward to feedback, comments and accountability from my readers.

IMMEDIATE:

1. Eat Greener: Consume organic products and foods that are safer for the environment.
2. Eliminate Styrofoam from my lifestyle completely: Avoid stores that serve in Styrofoam, avoid using the product in all ways. This includes refusing foods when served in the product.
3. Network Green.
4. Participate in Green Learning.
5. Educate Green.
6. Participate in Green Community Service Activities.
7. Support Green causes, businesses, organizations.
8. Reduce even more waste.
9. Decrease energy consumption even more.
10. Reduce water usage.
