Go Green

Last night, despite my crappy eye injury (see above), we visited the Pink Elephant in North Park to share one of our favorite issues — being eco-friendly. There’s been a lot of buzz about this topic lately, but it is one that is meaningful to us personally as well. We hail from picturesque places all around the US — the south, the northwest, New England, Hawaii, and of course, California — and all grew up feeling a great appreciation for and debt to nature. GGG wants to promote that sense of responsibility here in San Diego. But beyond all the talk about going green, we’d like to suggest a few things you can DO to make a difference. Start with our suggestions on this month’s flyer, and also make time to:

Incorporate whatever tips you can from the experiment of No Impact Man
Learn about the long-lasting effects of our consumer culture at Story of Stuff
Renew your resolutions daily with help from Ideal Bite
Find the recycling center nearest you — and if your building doesn’t recycle, organize a program!
Shop smart with The Green Guide
Get your whole family into it with these ideas from Working Mother
Go vegetarian or cut down as much as you can — it’s not just nicer for animals, it’s also healthier for the environment when done right
Plan your trips using public transportation
