Happy Earth Day

With today being Earth Day, I thought I would share some of the my personal values that have changed a lot. Growing up and while I was in college, I was much of the mindset that the Earth was there for mankind to exploit for its own use. I used to think clear cutting and development was a good thing. It is interesting and kind of scary to look back and reminisce on my previous ideas and values. I really was wholeheartedly was into that kind of thinking. I am not sure where it came from exactly. I was very pro-business and pro-corporate America. I used to think Michael Milken was unfairly convicted and jailed. Scary isn’t it?

Anyway I have dramatically changed my views on the planet Earth and the environment. I switch to a clean renewal energy (wind) about three years ago. I started to take recycling a lot more seriously. I have been eating quite a few organic foods. I have also try to avoid products that are harmful to the environment though this can be hard to do. I am not anti-corporations, but I do very much believe in corporate responsibility.

Enjoy Earth Day, and remember to keep thinking about the environment everyday of the year not just today.

    Great Blog. “Green” needs to be folded into everyone’s daily lives. The smallest things can help - use one less paper towel, tissue or napkin each day, don’t run the water when brushing your teeth, increase the temperature in your house by one degree in the summer and decrease it one degree in the winter. There are so many small things that can make a big difference! Happy Earth Year Shay!
