SIGGnificant


Remember that time when if you like the earth you were a tree hugger and it was a bad thing? Today it is considered cool to be a tree hugger. It’s hit the fashion scene, pop culture, and businesses. Part of me hates that companies are taking advantage of green being cool and part of me says at least they are trying, even if it is to get their businesses more money.

So, I am trying to be ‘more green’. It’s kind of hard when you have to commute. Thinking about all the gasoline and carbon-dioxide that is polluting the earth, it is hard to make up for the volume of it in my daily life. Plastic water bottles never seemed to make since to me. Why buy water when you can get it from your tap? It was just economically sense to me. Now it is SIGGnificant to be green as well, by not constantly buying plastic bottles that fill land fills and by not conserving the resources that are used to make the plastic bottles. This has even given me the idea to give up things like soda so I don’t have to buy the plastic bottle or can. These little things help me be more environmentally conscious as I try to eat better, live better, and be better to the earth.
