It is unfortunate that "being green" has become a catch phrase in the media. But it is indicative of a sort of hundredth monkey phenomenon going on in the world. I love the pure grass root nature of your website. Real people doing what is in front of them to make a better today than yesterday. Becoming spiritually green is life affirming to me.

You certainly seem to live your beliefs. As you know full well, embarking on a green life requires a decision, many decisions, in fact. But becoming green is a journey, not a destination. Our hope at Blue Planet Green Living is that each of us will learn from — and inspire — our fellow travelers. I'm gratified that you find this article and our website helpful. Peace, Julia Dear Bonnie,

Some of us are naturally green. Or maybe green by default. Depends on your perspective. I ride a bicycle, I compost now, I tend a garden. I use my mother's car as little as possible. Most of my forty-eight years I depended solely on my bicycle for transportation. For years I've wanted to volunteer at the animal shelter but was afraid to commit myself. One year ago I decided to go ahead and do it and I love it. I never want to give it up. Even if I adopted my own dog one day I will still make time to walk the dogs at the shelter. The exchange of good feelings I get from contact with these charming beasts is like no other. Being green is a win/win situation. Love is green. We all have a green story to tell and Julia's article inspired me to tell a little bit of mine. I am enjoying this website very much and I look forward to watching it grow. What is Green?

As a student at the University of Iowa, I am often disheartened by the number of my peers who only care about making a six digit income right after graduation. I certainly wouldn't mind that either, but I hope that the work I do will be able to help others as well. I met you guys a while back while I was rollin' on my Segway, glad to see your website is doing great! What a great article.

Julia, you amaze me. Each day comes with truly interesting stories about real people who try and succeed at making a difference. The rest of us get to meet and appreciate what each has done because you and Joe set out to make a difference. I know from experience that it is alot easier to teach a child to love than to hate. When you really love someone you try to do nothing to harm them or their space. Thank you. Bob WOW!!!! Julia, you amaze me.
