It's Never Too Late to Start Caring for the Earth

For many years, I lived a lifestyle that was creating a huge "carbon footprint." While I knew that environmentalists would not be happy with how wasteful I was (I didn't even recycle!) and the fact that I drove to the corner store instead of walking, I really didn't think that the acts of one person could really impact the earth that much. As I grew older, I realized just how my actions impacted the earth and vowed change my life to reduce my carbon footprint. I started recycling, and then I began walking when I could instead of driving. I now own a bike and ride it almost everywhere! I want to use my experience to help others realize that it is never too late to begin living an eco-friendly lifestyle. I plan to post many tips about how to live an eco-conscious life, so come back often for them!
