More and more people are understanding the part they play in our environment. Greener ways of doing things are taking the place of once was the norm. Take recycling for instance. If you grew up in the 70's, then do you remember recycling anything? Probably not. Kids today are very familiar with their 3 R's ~ Reuse, Recycle and Reduce. Recycling has become the new norm and slowly other ways of helping out our environment are making their way into the main stream. Living on the Chesapeake Bay, we have a bigger reason to learn how to live more green. Almost everything we do outside impacts the largest estuary in North America, from how we grow our gardens to how we clean up after our pets. Folks are slowly learning about rain barrels and composting. Here in Selby we have yet ANOTHER reason to learn the green arts ~ once a week trash collection! Last summer was horrible and I have little reason to believe this year will be better. Slowly, through blog posts we'll learn all about ways of living greener lives that may actually save your bank account as well as save our precious Bay and our Earth.
