GLOBAL WARMING.........
This is not a new term. We hear it almost everyday, on the news, weather stations, radio, newspapers. What does it mean?
These photographs tell the whole story really don't they?
A recent study in the U.S and Canada clearly indicates that the polar bear population in Canada's northwestern Arctic has declined by almost half in the last ten years.

Wikipedia tells us that, "Global warming is the current rise in the average temperature of Earth's oceans and atmosphere and its projected continuation. The scientific consensus is that global warming is occurring and was initiated by human activities, especially those that increase concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels"
Over the next few posts we will discuss various levels of green living to learn how we can reduce our environmental impact on a day-to-day basis. We will begin with the most simple ways to incorporate some "GREEN INTO YOUR LIFE" right up to full blown commitment. As we discuss each level, I invite you to share some of the ways that you have added that element of green into your life!!!
REDUCE, RE-USE, RE-CYCLE, RECLAIM
REDUCE, RE-USE, RE-CYCLE, RECLAIM
REDUCE - This is the first level, the most simple/important and the easiest way to begin your journey toward incorporating some green into your life. We live in a very wasteful society and to support a greener and sustainable tomorrow we must all do our part to reduce consumption, reduce waste and reduce pollution as well as conserve energy, water and other natural resources.
RE-USE - Re-use items that we have to keep them out of our already overstuffed landfills.
RE-CYCLE - Probably the most widely used term in the sustainability world. It simply means to treat or reprocess a material/product back into a RAW material to be used in the production of a new product.
RE-CLAIM - Very similar to reuse, items can be used for alternate purposes.
