I keep saying if we make small changes our environment can experience a big difference. I also keep talking about how going green makes economic sense. It’s more about changing the way we do things than spending more money. Choosing to spend some money up front for proper insulation will end the long run save us heating costs.
Here’s an article about a college that “get’s it”. I especially like the comment at the end by the benefactor who points out that this should in fact make tuition and fees go down, not up.
Can locally grown carrots, hybrid cars and turning off fluorescent lights really save the planet? All of this will likely come up during the Georgia Organics Conference this week on the campus of Agnes Scott College in Decatur. But after all of the marquee foodies and farmers pack up their canvas bags and leave, Susan Kidd, director of sustainability for Agnes Scott, will still be there trying to figure out how to make the tiny Decatur college a model of minimal C02 emissions and high-energy efficiency. Here Kidd talks about the quest to get green and how carrying your own recycling can be a fantastic upper body workout.
