Why am I green?

When I was little, I watched my dad hook up a solar panel on our roof. Instead of needing electricity to heat the water for our showers, the sun did it. And did it well. I literally burnt my butt more than once from superhot water in the shower!

That was the beginning of my education in living green. Ever since then, I've been fascinated with the different ways we can live to better our environment. And I was interested in this waaaay before the "global warning" and "Al Gore" junk came out. (Yes, it is junk, but that's a much later post!).

So if not for that, why go green. Simple, as a Christian, the Bible commands me to be a good steward of the Earth he has given to all of us. Plenty of verses support this.

I see the way so many people (including Christians) take advantage of what God has given them. Whether it's using too many plastics, driving gas guzzlers, living in an unnecessarily big house, not recycling, etc..

I hope this blog will help you make changes in your life to help you be a better steward of what God has given to us. Even tiny changes are wonderful.
