Almost every night I turn on the news and hear a story about how unhealthy our environment has become. The ice caps are melting, our drinking water is contaminated, and even our air is full of dangerous chemicals and toxins. What kind of world are we leaving for our children?
Rather than just sit by and do nothing my family has decided to start living a greener lifestyle. It’s a small start but we hope that by being a good example others will follow our lead and by working together we can really make an impact.
So to help you get the ball rolling I’ve put together a little list of green living tips you can practice at work. Be a good example for your coworkers and encourage them to do the same.
