There is a website out there called “The Lazy Environmentalist”. I’ve always thought of myself as an environmentalist, and if you ask me about the subject I can be pretty passionate, but truth be told, I am probably a lazy environmentalist. I’ve often thought of looking into moving to a Green Community, where the whole community recycles, walks to the market, eats organic foods etc… I realize now that I was interested in this because being surrounded by a community who was environmentally friendly would make it MUCH easier to be environmentally friendly myself! It’s much tougher when you are out in the big world and life is coming at you fast and furious, to stay true to your “green” list. So…we work a little, changing out our light bulbs at home to florescent, adjusting our thermostat, buying more organic foods, taking our own bags to the grocery
store, using cloth napkins… and I work on adding new “green” habits to my list all the time. As a business, it’s even tougher. Wholesale changes are overwhelming, but we have committed to making “green” changes here at A Warm Wish. We are cutting back on the amount of paperwork we generate, staying more digital, re-using the back side of printed papers. And we are working on “greening” up our gift lines. We start with a new bath/spa gift. This gift eliminates the paper and shred in the bottom of it, by adding a beautiful and practical luxurious towel. We are in the process of creating a new green housewarming gift! Its small steps, but we are committed to making the change.
What is Green LifeStyle
It is an ethical and eco-friendly life choice encompassing organically grown products and sustainable product life cycles. It is the alternative to mass consumerism. It can greatly affect our planet in a multitude of positive ways. It is necessary. It is the here and now.
Online shopping is an eco-friendly way to consume because it curtails the impact on our natural resources as no land is required for physical retail stores and gas consumption is reduced because you don't drive as often. The last few years we've have seen an explosion in the number of companies offering environmentally conscious products - without sacrificing style. With current technology, it has never been easier, or more fun, to align our fast-paced modern lifestyles to help re-establish a clean planet. Many smart consumers are currently making the green lifestyle a reality. (article from Greenlifesyle.biz)
