I Want To Go Green | Going Green

Going Green

Going green means a lot of things to a lot of people and I have my own ideas.  Not everyone will go as far as we want to go, but that is life, and a choice we each must face.  How far do I want to go eventually?  I want a green home on land enough to grow a sizeable portion of my own food.

Here is the logical progression I want to make.

  • First is transportation.  I have an aging environmentally unfriendly truck in need of repair.  I would prefer to replace this with something more eco friendly.
  • Replace inefficient appliances.  We rent right now so there is only so much we can do, but we can still make some changes.
  • Find a spot to build an green home with land enough to grow some of our own food.

My goal on all of this is five years.  I would like to be in a permanent location by the time Liam starts high school and Sarah starts kindergarten.
