If I could change one thing in the world, it would be:

I don't think I could changed just one thing. Most important, I would change the governments lax regulations on consumer goods, and increase the quality of our schools and the education system.

I think the most important environmental issue is:

Public awareness, definitely. There are tons of issues needing dealt with and the best way to creat action is to educate people. I'm surprised at how little I used to know, and how much more there still is to learn.

The greenest thing I do is:

It's pretty equal between using personal care products that are safe, eating natural and organic, and not allowing cleaners into my home. Then there is energy conservation, as well.

What does "sustainability" mean to me:

Being able to survive without depending on others, not buying/using things that I don't need, saving money, and being concious of my impact on the earth's resources.

Why am I passionate about being green?

Mostly because it's better for myself and my family. I don't like the idea of being exposed to toxins. It doesn't hurt to help reduce my carbon footprint, either ;)

About Me

I'm a SAHM of 2 little boys, I love to cook, and I'm a great singer;) I have accounts on myspace, facebook, and cafemom...and cafemom is my favorite. I have a group there called A Natural Life (about toxins in our products and foods), and I'm an administrator of Green Organic Natural Simple Living. KayMMIV has done an amazing job with that group!
