GREEN LIVING: What Does Green Living Mean Anyway?

By James Lahey

So what does green living mean, anyway? A lot of people have different definitions of green living, but it really all comes down to one fundamental concept. The earth's resources should not be depleted more rapidly than they can be replenished. That is the main and beginning concept and from there comes everything else. For instance, caring for the environment, caring for animals and other living creatures, caring for your health, your local community and the world.

There are all sorts of different resources in this world and when you start to look at them in detail, from fossil fuels to forests, agricultural land to wildlife, the ocean's depths to the air that we breathe. You will start to see how everything is interlinked and interconnected and that the actions we take today can definitely impact the future. Starting today, we should all stop for a minute and briefly reflect on our lifestyle and determine if there are actions and steps we can take to protect and preserve those resources.

We need to think about the concept of green living (can also be called sustainable living) as being very similar to your family's budget. If we are spending more than we make each month and start to neglect paying our bills, the bill collectors will start calling. If you continue to go down that path, you will end up owing so much money due to interest that you will never be able to pay it back. On the other side, if you're careful with your money and expenses, perhaps even save a little, and you're able to live within your means and keep everyone happy, especially yourself.
