What did you do?…additup!

I’m not the greenest person on the planet, but I have committed to making improvements.  Madmonkey was born from three people discussing just these environmental issues that we hear and see on the news every day.  Unlike other “greenies”, we are not already there.  We still have to make changes to our lifestyle that balance both being responsible and considerate to our environment as well maintaining a lifestyle that we are content with.

So how did I get started?  Well, I had to take stock of what I am doing now, what is important to me, and what changes do I need to make.  The first of these is what I am doing now.  A great website I found that helped me inventory my footprint is http://www.additupontario.ca/ .  It tells you what you are doing today and helps you create a plan for tomorrow.  The site also offers a vast amount of information on our environment and tips on reducing your footprint.

What did I learn doing this test?  I learned I have a lot of work to do.  And when you continue to read this blog I’m going to share my experience in making my life a little greener. 

I suggest you take the test and see what you could do.
