Sustainability and green living go hand in hand. After all green living is all about reducing our impact on the environment – that is, to making sure that we don’t interfere with its sustainability.

So it makes sense that when we plan environmentally friendly projects we make sure that they are sustainable. That means that there is no point in starting a venture that will not be feasible in the long run.

For instance, it would be great if we could eliminate all of our CO2 emissions in the next year. Let’s be realistic though - right now, with the technology and finances that we have available, it’s not going to happen and starting a project that attempts to do so would be foolish.

Planning to reduce CO2 emissions in reasonable amounts that we can achieve does make sense. Each year we can build upon what we have accomplished. We can find more ways to reduce CO2, and keep improving on what we have achieved. With small consistent steps over the long term, we can achieve more than we ever believed.

If, however, we start unreasonable, unsustainable projects, then they will fail and we will be right back where started. We will have accomplished nothing and we will be feeling the pressure to accomplish more even quicker to make up for lost time.

Consistent, sustainable reductions in pollution, that’s the key to green living- for ourselves, our families, our communities, our country and our planet.
