Making Lemonade

I was truly inspired by the movie "11th Hour" to join their action website and start blogging about how I was changing my life to be green. I was so excited! I blogged about how the students I teach were sorting their lunches into compost, recycling, and (minimal) trash; I blogged about how we were making slight, but impactful changes, in our daily personal life; and by the time I hit my third or fourth blog, I realized the action site blog was littered with advertisements for chiropractors and internet software. At first, I thought these advertisements were "green ads" - but it didn't take much searching to realize opportunists were using this admirable site to get people to buy stuff.

So, while I still am a member, and still support that site (and movie, and message) wholeheartedly, I've decided my own personal blog may be a better option. If anyone decides to read this; if anyone decides to comment; and if anyone decides to join me; I don't want my post to be preceded by "CLICK HERE FOR CHIROPRACTORS OF HOUSTON".

I plan to repost what I had originally put on my previous blog, because I think it's really cool how my students have jumped on board without a complaint.
