Greenwashing' is a term that has been in Webster's dictionary since 1989, but it seems many people are still not aware of its meaning. Greenwashing is defined in Webster's as:

You must be the change you want to see in the world - Mahatma Gandhi

 

Relationships and cooperative action can effect our environment. For instance you don’t have to like somebody, you just have to be nice to improve your environment.

Reducing, reusing and recycling can have a big impact on our environment. Determine if you really "need" an item before you purchase it and this will reduce the amount of what you will have to discard later.
When you do have to get rid of an item, recycle it. Some great resources for recycling information are the National recycling coalition, http://nrc-recycle.org/ and Earth 911 http://earth911.org/.
Reusing items is a great way to help the environment. Often you can find great ideas at craft or home improvement websites on ways to turn something old into something new and useful! Also donating items to charity you no longer need is a great way to help others and help the environment. There are so many ways you can go green and help the environment, why not start today?

For those of you who haven't heard, the incandescent light bulb is being phased out beginning in 2012.

"The incandescent light bulb, one of the most venerable inventions of its era but deemed too inefficient for our own, will be phased off the U.S. market beginning in 2012 under the new energy law just approved by Congress."
