Easy green living for health and wealthHi, and welcome to Greenfootsteps!
We would like to wish all our readers a very happy - and green - holiday season and a happy new year! Greenfootsteps is about easy green living, bringing you environmentally sound ideas and tips which don’t break the bank but do genuinely help you to be a bit greener.
What's here?Lots of simple ideas and projects to try at home which should save you money and help you and your family to become healthier and greener too.
Here are some of the main things you'll find on the Greenfootsteps site:
There are also some articles about the big issues such as global warming. These are included just to help you get an overview of the problems facing us and our environment in the 21st century. They are relatively short and straightforward and are not intended to be comprehensive! For more green living topics just explore the Navigation Bar links, left - or scroll down to topic headings here below. What is green living?
Please enjoy this website and I hope it will provide a few answers to your personal journey towards greener living. So come on in and green up your lifestyle with greenfootsteps.com!
Most of us would like to be greener - at least if it didn't hurt too much! Being “green” or eco-friendly in our lifestyle choices does not always look easy. Some green living solutions can be expensive and have a long pay-back time – for example, double glazing makes your home easier to heat but on average it takes about five years for you to recoup the cost. Also, there’s a confusing wealth of information out there.
Greenfootsteps is dedicated to making the task easier by finding the best tips and techniques which don't cost the earth. There are also plenty of links to other useful sites which can provide green services and information. Every thing written about here should help make life cheaper, easier or healthier for you and your family. And, if it also makes life more enjoyable, that’s great!
Greenfootsteps also aims to be international in scope as far as possible. I'm from England, so many of the tips on organic gardening are most suitable for people growing food plants in temperate climates: that said, most of the other green living ideas should be applicable practically anywhere!
A brief note on spelling: - I've used mainly UK English spellings but there are also some US variants as more people are familiar with US English.
Please Note: The ideas presented on this site are intended to help individuals and families to live a greener lifestyle. Many of the issues dealt with here have enormous political implications. This site does not address these political issues at all. It is simply intended for your personal information, to help you to find greener ways of living as things are at the moment.
