The Beginning of a Revolution

Hello anyone willing to read this! I'm green_bobydia and this is my blog. It's just kinda like a journal and a daily tracker for things that I do that can be counted as green. This will help me a WHOLE LOT! :P

Things that are just habits for me are brushing teeth with faucet off, making sure all faucets are only running when necessary, turning off lights when exiting a room, using lights only when necessary, not watching too much TV, letting natural light shine into a room instead of electric lights, carpooling with friends to school, taking bus home, I used to walk to school, throwing away my trash, picking up any litter I find, taking short showers, reusing paper that can be reused, unplugging stuff that needs to be, reusing plastic containers, and using a lunch box instead of plastic/paper bags. My family also recycles what we can in our "small" city - cardboard, some plastics, aluminum cans, and newspaper.

I really would like to start being a little bit more resourceful and just generally more green. I have an okay list above, but I need to do more. There's just not a whole lot a kid going on 13 can do. I seriously have no idea, but I'm sure that joining Greenopolis will be a giant leap towards my goal and the goal of many good humans around the entire world.

One other recent thing I did was purchase two pairs of shoes from an Eco-Friendly shoe company called Simple Shoes. They are made mostly of recycled materials and come in recycled boxes with reduced packaging. The shoes are very comfy and cute, and I got them at a discount price. The shoes even contain organic materials, which I think is pretty cool. Organic and Green go hand in hand, don't they? :D
