I don’t have any credentials. Okay, I pretend to know what I’m talking about but actually have no idea. I’ve always had an interest in the environment since I was a child and considered getting a degree in Environmental Studies, however, the competitions marks were higher than mine. The joke at work is that I must have been chained to the big oak trees back in the university days, however, I’m scared to death of loud machinery (unless I’m driving it) and would not be capable of holding my ground in the face of such a personal terror.
I care about being green but to the seriously green, I would be considered just a bystander. Put it another way, on a scale of 1-10 where 10 menas if you’re cut, your blood spills green and 5 means you’re average, I’d be at 7. I don’t appreciate the 10’s who expect everyone else talking about green to also have green blood - there must be room for shades of green.
I personally have a lot of room for improvement but I also choose my battles and save my energy for the things I think will have the most impact - sometimes, green isn’t everything.
Funny thing - I currently work for an Energy Services company whose parent company based in the UK is investing time, money and effort on sustainable solutions for the residential and business markets. (Wow, sounds like one of my professional sentences.) I’m excited about what is to come, but afraid that I may be dead before the really good stuff happens.
About this Green Blog - I don’t expect to change the world. I don’t even know if someone will change a lightbulb because of me. Like my other blogs, I’m only trying to share strategies and thoughts and stories in the hopes of moving us all forwards. One thing you’ll note is that you’ll likely read frustration in my words because I recognize that this society is a very big ship, and moving that ship, even a few degrees, takes a lot of effort and time. Here’s to a greener me and you.
Thanks for stopping by.
P.S. Since you’re already here, don’t click on the My Greenery tab - it just says the same thing.
