The Accidental Environmentalist

http://theaccidentalenvironmentalist.blogspot…

A humorous look at living green in a main-stream world. Green living is not a bunch of stuff to buy, it's a set of changes that one makes in their life to live in a way that is ultimately kinder to the world. I am slowly coming to the conclusion that individual changes are not going to make as large an impact as making changes within a community, state, or country. The Accidental Environmentalist also chronicles these efforts at community-wide change with the Need-a-Bag? Project, which hands out free tote bags at the farmer's market where I live.
