I started the 365 Ways To Go Green because I found myself talking a lot about what's best for the environment and how there are simple things that people can do to make a difference.

That's what I was doing, I was talking. I believe that, "actions speak louder than words." So I  decided to stop the yapping and start showing people that making eco-conscious decisions are simple. Besides showing how simple they were, I wanted to put the actions into perspective. With each act, I post a short blurb on the environmental impact of the act.
 
That’s how I came up with the idea of this site I created. I issued a challenge to myself to perform one simple green act a day for a year and document it all to hold myself accountable.

I began this project in September 2009 and it's still in the beginning stages. What I've realized so far is that many of the "acts" are pretty simple. They can easily be incorporated into people's everyday lives without changing their daily routines - such as borrowing books from the library or buying foods from bulk bins and bringing your own packaging.

Something such as "dumpster diving" was done more to show the amount of food that is wasted and explain the effects of it. My goal is to come up with a solution to the problem. I have plans to follow up on this issue of food waste.

I've already achieved my goal in the early stages by influencing close to me such as my nephew or friends to be more aware of their decisions. That's what's most fulfilling to me.
