Everyday I try to be conscious of my actions and the impact those actions have on my immediate environmental surroundings and the whole planet. I try to eat locally grown foods (easier in the summer). I try to drive slower and less aggressively. Although, I cannot cut my miles, I can carpool with my husband (when I wake up on time), and use less gas getting to and from work. Today, we skipped the meat in dinner, I brought my own reusable shopping bag, planted pumpkin and spinach seeds for our fall crop, tended to my garden. I drank tap water, and brought my breakfast in a reusable container.
I fell short in many ways today. I shopped at a chain store purchasing toiletries in plastic bottles, laundry detergent in plastic, and picked up dry cleaning..... Obviously, I have quite a bit of room for improvement. Now, I am a big fan of perfection, but understand that perfection is not possible 100% of the time. Hopefully, making an effort is more important than being perfect.
How were you green today? Do you fall short sometimes, like me?
