Defining Green Living

It's about more than recycling and hybrids. It's about a lifestyle.
I, too, had a narrow outlook on being green before I started this blog. (Being green to me had a lot to do with Kermit the Frog.) Now, I hope through research and reporting I and my readers will have an understanding of what it truly means to be green.
I will look at what efforts are being made to accomplish a more earth-friendly lifestyle at a local, state and national level. I will report on Tucson's efforts, whether it be local businesses or organizations. A relatively envionment-conscious city already, I will find what new steps Tucson is taking toward green living in 2008.
And Tucson's greatest resource - the University of Arizona - will also be under my green microscope, as I look at how it is becoming more green-conscious. From asking questions about the solar panel project from a few years back to eating roasted corn at the farmer's market on the Mall, no report on green living at the UA will go unnoticed.
So I hope you check in every Monday to see how I'm learning more about this new lifestyle and how I'm applying it to my life. My greatest hope though is that you, too, will find something to add to your life.
