You’ve probably noticed that green is everywhere these days; you can hardly escape it. With a million messages and ideas coming at us from all angles, it is easy to become confused and frustrated with the media. I find the most annoying thing about being green is having to battle with the theory that all things green are an expensive inconvenience.
I have to admit that I find myself being slightly bewildered; how can the efforts of a single individual living in a pollution guzzling city centre make a difference?
It is very empowering to discover that as a single individual, living in a one bedroom flat in the Lancashire suburbs; every single thing that I do everyday has an impact on the planet. The decisions that I make will cause a ripple effect of consequences for generations to come.
Ok let’s be honest, that does sound a tad dramatic but if the facts are true it is a scary reality that we have to face. The good news is that as an individual I have the power to control most of my choices.
I am interested to discover a sustainable life far from the hippy stereotype; a world that I can adapt/ relate to; a world which we can grow into.
Over the next 12 months I have embarked on a personal mission to discover my own shade of green.
