Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. ~Galations 6:9 Recently, I had a friend issue a challenge – participate in a 30-day giving event. For it is through the act of giving that we gain an ability to see beyond ourselves. In response, I decided to give both personal and eco-professional tips. As I compiled my list of ‘giving’ green life-style tips and strategies, it reminded me of personal eco-commitments. Hopefully, you will find this list useful; and as always, you are welcome to post tips/strategies that work-well for you. 1st tip – measure your eco-footprint – http://www.buildinggreentv.com/5073 2nd tip – commit – http://www.pr.com/press-release/184690 3rd tip – measure your water-footprint – water-footprint – http://www.waterfootprint.org/?page=cal/waterfootprintcalculator_indv Tip 4 – be water wise – http://www.buildinggreentv.com/keywords/conservation/8311 Tip 5 – improve air quality, plant a tree – http://www.buildinggreentv.com/keywords/cooling/9740 Tip 6 – value landscape – http://www.buildinggreentv.com/keywords/curb-appeal/9675 Tip 7 – green matters – http://www.buildinggreentv.com/keywords/green-matter-life-style/5249 Tip 8 – understand green – http://www2.richmond.com/content/2008/jan/14/eco-weak-to-eco-chic/ Tip 9 – educate your self – http://www.americanfarm.com/growtopstory4-01-04g.html Tip10 – attend events – http://www.virginiagardening.com/virginiagardenfestival09.htm Tip 11
