New Ground: Small Steps to a Sustainable Environment

Breaking Up the Environment

The other day a friend sent me an email detailing all of the environmental mistakes they are making in China. He said it was very important and no doubt, it is.

Wish I could help, but living as a private citizen in Minnesota USA there’s little I can do about the Chinese environment.

I think we too often focus on the environment as a global, if not universal, thing and while it is both global and universal (a meteor could hit any day you know!), most of us private citizens can do little to change the environment as a whole. Yet, if we break up the environment into smaller chunks, we can do something to change our personal environments… the quality of life in our homes, towns— maybe even our regions.

Although I’ll probably be posting more in depth about many of these ideas, I Stumbled Upon good place to find what I can do and maybe somethings you can do to change our personal chunk of the environment: It’s 100 Ways to Save the Environment, a page at SEQL.org.
