Green Thinking: Toxics in Our Mind

Why do we only think of "going green" as something we do on the outside, and not on the inside? We need to be able to clean out our minds and hearts of "bad stuff" just as much as we should clean out our food!

As I have started college recently I have seen this bad way of thinking. So many people think it is ok to be passive, we have lost all the feeling we need to have. All of us need to see how to settle our minds and hearts and clean out the junk of our mind.

What can you do to clean out your mind, to see clearer and feel better? Find inspiring books or music; find what "lets off some steam" in your life. You want to find the place that lets you clear out your mind and start putting "good food" into it again.

Sometimes in life we get so many layers of junk and before we know it we can have so many layers that we can't even feel or think clearly, seriously and we don't even realize it until something jerks us into reality. BE REAL!

Energy saving on the web

How many of you have heard of Blackle, or Greenle?

Blackle is a search engine that is supposed to save energy, because it is black instead of the common white. Depending upon what monitor you have, it may save you energy! But for newer, LCD monitors, it uses more energy.


Greenle was not made to save you energy, but it was made to show you care by displaying links to sites such as WWF and Ekopedia.

Show your support for the enviroment by choosing to save energy, even on your computer!
