I am not sure of the practicality of diving in headfirst to the effort to commit to “green” practices in most New York City buildings by installing solar panels or wind turbines but I do strongly advocate taking some small steps to implement some practices that reduce our carbon footprint and enhance quality of life either by consuming less or becoming more aware of the effects our daily habits have on our immediate and global environment.
One resource that takes a very practical viewpoint in this direction is The Toeprint Project. I hope we can all learn a few tips on how to better ourselves and the world through some of the simple ideas espoused on this site. Here’s to a greener spring for all.
