Makin' it Green
I was wondering if there were actually people out there who have changed their lifestyles to be more eco-friendly. I searched the internet to see who was doing what. Are people Makin’ it Green? The answer is a resounding… Yes!!!
One man moved to the New Mexico wilderness to live without oil. Another family in California changes their urban yard into a farm complete with animals. And a Canadian couple goes off the grid but keeps their middle class lifestyle. And there are a lot more. All wonderful stories which inspired me.
Inspirational stories of folks ‘Makin’ it Green’…

oh life… sweet wondrous life
~a poem by Bonnee Klein Gilligan
So much more then simple words
deep hearted inner sorrow.
Say what you will, time will allow
for life speaks not tomorrow.
Each breath, each move ignites our soul
and fills our cups with wonder.
How we spend this mighty gift
or choose which path to walk on.
Is only that and nothing more
a choice, a simple choice.
Wrapped within experience
set upon a golden plate.
With love and laugher, joy or sorrow
in each and every moment.
Thus we write our book of life
Oh Life… sweet wondrous life.
