Green Quotes

Here are some quotes about the state of our planet and our attitudes that will make you think. Some of them are very old, so thinking green is really not a new concept.

"Only after the last tree has been cut down…the last river has been poisoned…the last fish caught, only then will you find that money cannot be eaten." - Cree Indian Prophesy
"The frog does not drink up the pond in which he lives." - Native American Proverb
"We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive." - Albert Einstein

Things You Can Do

One of the best Go Green catch phrases is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It sums up many of the things we as individuals can do to help this world-wide problem. You can reduce trash from your household by using containers that can be used again, and by properly disposing of toxic materials. Composting helps use things that you would otherwise throw away. Before you toss something in the garbage, think about the possibility of using it again. Recycle as much as possible and buy things made of recycled materials.

Other things you can do to cut down on pollutants and chemicals in your home are:

Don’t use non-stick pans; use cast iron or stainless steel ones instead.
To avoid chemicals in food, lessen the amount of processed, canned, or fast food you consume, and never microwave plastic.
Buy organic, eat low-mercury fish, and never use iodized salt (interferes with the thyroid).
Leave your shoes at the door to reduce pollutants in your home.
Buy natural fibers.
Use reusable water bottles instead of buying plastic ones and never freeze water in plastic bottles.
Seal outdoor wooden structures as they may contain arsenic.
Filter your water for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
Avoid products with added fragrance.
Save energy by adjusting the thermostat just a few degrees, buying compact fluorescent light bulbs, opening the drapes for more light, and washing clothes in cold water when possible.
