Welcome
to One Girl, Our World! This blog is about making the right
decision concerning the environmental impact we as humans are making on our
planet. I will discuss short sustainable phases of change for years to come
that will include reducing consumption of energy, natural resources, and most
of all demonstrate a lifestyle that seeks to achieve a zero net impact on Earth.
To make sustainable changes in your
life, one must first understand the impacts they have on our planet. They need
to know how much food it takes to keep yourself alive, how much waste you
create, and finally determine your carbon footprint. Also, what will take to
keep our planet alive for all species and generations to come?
This blog is designed to be used as
a tool, discussions, and as a resource for removing all the comfortable
lifestyle items we have today and to teach us new ways of living outside of our
comfort zone. Physical things such as removing the idea of an automobile to
reduce our carbon footprint and replace this idea with riding a bicycle, or
buying your food from a places that supports the local farmers and increases
the local economy. Stop the fast pace ideas that Western Society makes us think
we must live, how we should only have the bigger and best items, but rather how
we morally need to change to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
“We cannot hope to create a
sustainable culture with any but sustainable souls” ~Derrick Jensen
I found an interesting article about solar panel roadways! It made me think of your presentation! Thought I'd share! http://www.outsideonline.com/news-from-the-field/Blazing-Trails-Solar-Panels-Could-Replace-Roads.html
