76,000,000 Aging Boomers can have a tremendous impact on our planet. Since we are expected to live longer than any previous generation, the choices we make about how we age is imperative to ensure continued health of our planet.
While we have been viewed as a selfish generation by some, we can change that attitude by stepping up and making better decisions to live more sustainably.
For ages, the two most common practices of green living are to:
Reduce, reuse and recycle
Save Energy
There are so many more ways to live green. These choices methods and their interconnection to each other are crucial for our own health, our quality of living and the health of the planet.
Some other ways to live green are:
Living in a green home
Using non toxic products
Eating low on the food chain
Shopping responsibly
Green remodeling
Being a responsible traveler
Getting involved
It takes a commitment and focus to change habits which have existed for a long time. But we know with government intervention we can change. One recent example is the use of re-usable shopping bags. It may have taken awhile to remember to carry our own bags but we got there.
The question is: what will it take for each of us to choose alternative green living techniques on our own rather than what for the government to choose for us?
I will continue to write about simple changes we can choose to “Make a difference for our planet.”
