A Wasteful Society – tags that don’t fit!

Lately, the “green” issue has been playing a lot on my mind – to be honest, I don’t subscribe to the misconception of being “environmental” equating to the over-played stereotype of the the hemp-smoking, sandal-wearing ‘typecast’ – in general I can’t abide the ignorance of placing these convenient little “tags” on people… most of the eco-aware people I know are very normal everyday people. Over the past few days I’ve been taking a look at my own life and trying to see if there were any ways in which I could contribute further in doing my part – and what has struck me most (carbon footprints etc. aside) is just how wasteful we are as a society. Even without delving too deep into the the environmental issues and the numerous ways we can and are harming the planet, it’s become particularly obvious, that simply by being that little bit kinder to the planet by being less wasteful in our own lives, we could save on our own personal finances as well as on a bigger scale!
