Welcome to The Green Project
- Together finding creative ways to help the environment and save money.
A few months I found myself watching Al Gores movie An Inconvenient Truth. I, like many others, was shocked at what I saw! Being a natural skeptic, however, this led me to do some digging of my own and that’s when I stumbled upon the recently released Fourth Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change entitled “summary to policymakers†and the information presented on global warming found on the US Environmental Protection Agencies website. It confirmed what I had seen in the movie and I was shocked at what I was reading. Global warming was a reality, and it was much worse than I had ever imagined! I began thinking a lot about the world I will leave for my children and future grandchildren!
Not able to sit still any longer, I knew I had to do something to make a difference. I knew their had to be many ways in which average folks like myself could reduce our individual contributions to the global warming problem, Even though we truly don’t have two nickels to rub together. Perhaps ways that would even save us a bit of money in the process. I had a few ideas of my own but I knew that if I was going to make a difference at all I not only needed to share these ideas with others, I needed to seek out others willing to share their ideas with us.
Thus the idea for the OurGreenProject was born! A place to share both ideas and follow active projects designed to reduce our individual contributions to the global warming problem and save some money in the process! I am trying to get others to share ideas, in the hopes that together we can help average folks make a difference.
So please won't you join with us, maybe together we can find a way to make a difference!
