Going Green
My parents recently went green. They have done things like start a recycling program in their neighborhood, bought two biomass pellet stoves, did away with lots of the paper products in their homes and will only buy items that are biodegradable. I am really proud of their efforts because many older Americans don’t understand why it’s so important to make these changes now. Some don’t want to believe that our behavior affects the planet adversely. It’s really frustrating to them and to me when people disregard our planet. It’s not about believing that global warming exists or not, it’s knowing that humans have harmed the planet.
