So I am trying to think of some innovative greening activity that I did over the weekend, and nothing much comes to mind. I ran a lot, actually five miles Friday/Saturday and 10 miles on Sunday so that was fairly non obtrusive to the planet. I did however use electricity to charge my i- pod. Saturday I drove to Greensboro and back in one day so that was not very green. Saturday I also used my car to retrace my run to see how far one of my loops was so that was not to green either. I did go to the farmer's market on sat and cooked with the vegetables I bought. Besides that I did the usual like turning off the lights while leaving bathrooms on campus and using www.blackle.com as my web search engine. Oh, I know, I downloaded a font which uses 20% less ink when printing from http://www.ecofont.eu/ecofont_en.html. Until later.........

Day 3

Today I went for a run and got bit by my neighbors dog. Not a great start of the day. After eating homemade granola, I walked to work. Hopefully the day will improve and I won't get rabies:(

I kind of have a headache so this is it for now......

Day 2

Day two with my Green Living Blog. I want to point out that there is no clear cut definition of "green living." Each has there own take, and what I write here are obviously my perceptions of how I attempt to live green.

Today I ate well again and rode my bike to work.

Day 1 Green Living

This blog is going to be a place where I will share ideas, thoughts, experiments, etc about green living. I set it up as a result of a First Year Seminar class I am teaching at Appalachian State University called Contemporary Green Living: Life Choices For Sustainability.

Today's green moments as of this post: ran this morning, walked to work, vegetarian breakfast and lunch (brought my lunch), recycled office paper........
