I was Green Before it had that name

Being "Green" as its been called is mostly doing what many native people have done since the beginning.
  • If you Kill something use all parts of it and give thanks.
  • You don't need LOTS of STUFF.
  • Buy Local because shipping and packaging costs money.
  • Buy in bulk when it makes sense (aka it wont spoil etc.) its cheaper and there is less packaging and shipping
  • Grow a garden - you have fresh food, its often better
  • Learn to preserve food by "canning" and drying etc.
  • Turn off the lights when not in use
  • Close the doors and windows when the temp outside is too hot or cold
    • In Summer open them in the morning to let the cool air in and close them by 8am or so
    • In the Summer close the curtains/blinds to keep the hot sun out, In winter close them at night to keep heat in
