Ecology
The climate has changed from what we remember it to be even 10 years ago. The changes you’re seeing may be more or less drastic depending on where you live, but that doesn’t mean they’re not happening. It’s important for us to be informed of the effect we’re having on our planet.
We show you that it’s not that difficult (and that much more rewarding) to live an eco-friendly lifestyle. We take you beyond recycling, walking and biking to help you reduce your footprint in ways that may not have occurred to you. Join us in leaving some planet for those that come after us.
