Why Should I “Go Green” ?

The truth is that everything single thing we do every day has

an impact on the planet -- good or bad.

The good news is that as an individual, you have the power to

control most of your choices and, therefore, the impact you

create. From where you live to what you buy or eat, and use

to light your home to where and how you vacation, to how you

shop or vote, you can have global impact.

Embracing a greener lifestyle isn't just about helping to

preserve equatorial rain forests, it can also mean improving

your health, reduce spending (especially in the long term),

and, ultimately, improving your overall quality of life. All that

and you can save furry animals, too.

Why wouldn't anyone want to green?

Throughout this year we’ve seen plenty of diagrams of what “Green” houses looks like.

For the third year in a row, the Mini Cooper was named as one of the

Top 10 Green Cars for 2010 by Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com. The MINI

Cooper has been a part of the list every year since it came out in 2008,

a recognition to the brand’s commitment to being environmentally

friendly by reducing its CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions, while also

being fuel efficient.

SO, WHOSE HOUSE IS MORE ECO-FRIENDLY

?

Tina Bryanna

And the Winner Is….

BOTH OF THEM !

Both Tina and Bryanna incorporate eco-friendly products and methods

into their daily life.

Everyone has to do their part, and Bryanna’s and Tina’s homes are just

small factors that contribute to a greener planet.

Although you can never be “too green”, both Bryanna and Tina are

making an effort to save the planet.

It is important to remember that every individual has an impact on the

planet, but it is their choice to determine whether it is good or bad.
