Welcome
As a geologist and an educator, I experience the world as a unity with fixed amount of natural resources, some of which are already depleted. So, as population growth greatly strains our finite resources, there are fewer resources available. If we intend to leave our kids with the same standard of living we have enjoyed, we must preserve the foundation of that standard of living (Hussain, 1999). We save for college education, orthodontia, and weddings, but what about saving clean air, water, and fuel for future generations?
Teacher and parents, you are one of the first lines of defense in the environmental movement. Hence, we need to teach kids and ourselves how to reduce, reuse and recycle. The interdisciplinary skills we learn today will be the planet-saving skills that will be enlisted tomorrow (Scoot, 2004). Knowing that you bear a lot on your shoulders, this Green Guide is put together on October 24, 2012 to provide you and your kids with the tips and ideas no how to change your routine and become environmentally friendly.
My Story (Marija Ivanovic)
For me going green was not just a growing trend; it involved a lifestyle change that required an awareness of how I lived, ate and shopped. Adapting a practice of reducing, reusing and recycling occurred to me as I was able to travel and experience the benefit of going green as a global and not a local issue. As such, going green allowed me to become more educated and appreciative of the environment I live in. I hope that after you browse through my website you will adapt at least one of the tips and begin your journey of becoming environmentally friendly.
