Welcome to my first blog entry....ever!
Hi all - this is the external version of my internal work blog that I started to support my company's sustainability initiative. The purpose of my blog @ work is to create another tool for communicating with my colleagues about my work on the sustainability initiative and the things I learn in the process. I'll have to sanitize some of the information due to confidentiality -- but hopefully your might find some of this information insightful!
And as I say for my blog @ work, I welcome comments, suggestions, corrections, and additional information. I am BY FAR not an expert on this, but I'd like to take you all on my Green journey. And it is a journey - making gradual changes is the way to really make lasting change in your life!
And since this is a New Year, I am going to start my blog with My Green New Year's Resolutions:
1. Be a smarter consumer. I'm using Co-op America's Ten Things You Should Never Buy Again and Five More Things to Never Buy Again lists to get started.
2. Dedicate time to helping others be more green...which is why I am writing this blog.
3. Be more aware of what is going on in sustainability and green in the world. I've started by signing up for TreeHugger's RSS feed in my Google Reader. TreeHugger describes itself as, "the leading media outlet dedicated to driving sustainability mainstream. Partial to a modern aesthetic, we strive to be a one-stop shop for green news, solutions, and product information. At TreeHugger we know that variety is the spice of life, so you can find all you need to go green in our up to the minute blog, weekly and daily newsletters, weekly video segments, weekly radio show and our user-generated blog, Hugg. We also extend our expertise to companies looking for a little green guidance. Past clients include Domino, Sundance Channel and House & Garden. "
So, if you'd like to support my Green 2008 and join me on this trip, please keep reading!
