Going Green

Going green ... should be every one's mantra today. And it doesn't have to mean great sacrifices ... there are reasonable steps we can all take.

Remember the days we started to separate paper and glass? ... many of us cannot imagine not filling up our recycling boxes each week ... and now that painless activity is second nature to most of us.

However, we have to do more and knowing how to 'reduce our environmental footprint' is one very good way. Climate change is a global crisis and the situation is critical.

This is caused by huge volumes of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. The gazillions of car exhaust pouring into our air around the world, is one huge cause.

Your personal or environmental carbon footprint, is a measure of your own personal consumptive levels - needed to support your own individual existence.

Calculate your own 'carbon footprint' ... and find out ways to offset your personal output.
