Tools for going green Posted on August 15, 2008

This guest post brought to you from The Nerdy One at Embracing my Nerdiness.

Hello Modern Gals (and guys) I thought that I would try and help The Modern Gal relax on her mini-vacation and doing a little blogging in her honor. I have to say that I am a little intimidated to try and write with the wit, quality, or professional manor that The Modern Gal has come to be known for……so I won’t try.

One of the many things that I think is part of being “Modern” in any sense of the word is trying to be green. Not to say that this is an easy task but more like a life style change. Eating local goods, purchasing items with less packaging, and even planning your trips before running errands can all help save on your contribution to emissions but there are some other things you can do. Becoming green is a lifestyle change, and that means incorporating it into your everyday.

So, without further ado, here are some things you help you Modern Gals to be greener girls and guys without compromising your lifestyle.
