People are busier more than ever these days. We are working more hours, doing more than two things at the same time, and so forth. Still, whenever there’s an opportunity, I always talk to people about what I do to be more environmentally friendly. However, one person noted that it looks like I have a lot of time in my hands since I’m able to hang-dry my clothes instead of putting them in the dryer.

At that point I wasn’t sure how to react. But the more I think about it, it’s not about having time. It’s about caring. Like anything else, if you care a lot about something or someone, you put more effort and thought to it. And that’s what I try to do, everyday. I try to be more conscious about what I throw out, what I buy, what I eat.

Being green is not a trend, or a hot new topic that the media is riding out. It’s a mindset change. It’s a lifestyle change. Being green is not easy, but when does doing the right thing ever is?
