This is an assignment my lecturer gave me. I would like to hear out your opinions. If you have a website about it, please share it with me.
I believe in personal action. It is much easier to lead people by example. I’ve made many changes in my life that benifit the planet and I share my experience with others. I let them know that my changes create a healthier life for my family and most save me money. Without telling others what they should do, they have made changes in their lives and love to let me know what they are doing.
I’ve had freinds adjust thermostats, buy more fuel efficient cars, install a variety of energy efficient items in their homes, change cleaning products to natural non toxic, and my favorite: my hair stylist has changed her entire retail line to eco friendly companies.
My inspiration has been “The Green Book”. I’ve read many others, but this seems to be a very common sense approach.

There are a lot of people who say they want to save money not the earth.. Well if you go green you will save money and no longer be dependent on the oil companies for survival (filthy rich bast@!#$). The earth will bounce back from almost anything we do to it but we won’t. So they may not want to save the planet but what about themselves?
Good luck you may not change their mind but maybe you can get them to look at things in a different way.
