Greenfeet

I stumbled across this website http://www.greenfeet.com/. They have some pretty cool things - great unique gift ideas. Ok, i think i need to add another disclaimer- i am not a tree hugging hippie- not that there is anything wrong with that. The reason i say that is bc i dont want to sound like i am preaching. I mean, i still sometimes leave the lights on- sometimes i dont recycle and sometimes, yes i still use plastic bags. But i think the important thing is that i am trying. I think if we all tried just a little then each year we would change just a little bit more and then by the time our children were adults- we might have created a safer and cleaner environment for everyone. Try to look at it this way- for everytime you choose to walk instead of drive you could be adding a few minutes to our precious planet's life. Now think if everyone in the world choose to walk just once when they could drive. (ok, so i am totally making up the idea that we could add minutes to the planet - i dont think there is any scientific proof of that- but hell, it sounds good and it just might be true) Anyway- i will leave you with this mission statement of Greenfeet taken from their website- i love it and it sums up what i am trying to say with this post
"Everybody leaves footprints on the environment. We ALL do it.We do it by just living our lives and going about our business. We all consume resources and we all leave an environmental footprint. However, the choices we make, in our behavior, in the products we use, affect the size of our footprint.
Greenfeet makes it easier to leave smaller, "greener" footprints. Hey, nobody's perfect - including us. We recognize that there are often obstacles in the path of green footprints. They range from awareness and knowledge to economics and availability. It's our mission to help everyone overcome these obstacles
