What does it mean to be “green?” Many people have a desire to green up their lives but don’t know where to begin. Or maybe you are concerned about the health affects that environmental degradation will have on you and your family but don’t have the background to assess what is “good” or what is “bad.”

 

Being green is about more than saving the rainforests or stopping the extinction of furry animals or eating organic foods. It’s about living in balance within your ecosystem. Miami is an urban ecosystem, the human population is another species within this ecosystem. Environmental policy considers the social, economical, and ecological status of an area. It also remembers the past and keeps an eye on the future.

 

But being green doesn’t have to feel guilty or impossible. Solutions exist and are coming on line as you read this. We do what we can with what resources we have and become more aware of our environment and our place in it with each step we take. We just have to start somewhere.
