Most of us would like to be greener - at least if it didn't hurt too much! Being “green” or eco-friendly in our lifestyle choices does not always look easy. Some eco solutions can be expensive and have a long pay-back time – for example, double glazing makes your home easier to heat and saves on carbon emissions but on average it takes about five years or more for you to recoup the cost. Also, there’s a confusing wealth of information out there.
Every day becoming greener looks more and more complicated. And, as the news rolls in about climate change, more and more necessary.
Greenfootsteps is dedicated to making the task easier by finding the best tips and techniques which don't cost the earth. All the articles on the more expensive "eco" solutions are designed to help you make an informed judgement about how they might suit your situation. There are also plenty of links to other useful sites which can provide green services and information. All the green living tips and ideas written about here should help make life cheaper, easier and healthier for you and your family. Many practical green living ideas make life more enjoyable, too!
Greenfootsteps.com also aims to be international in scope as far as possible. I'm from England, so many of the tips on organic gardening are most suitable for people growing food plants in temperate climates: that said, many of the green living ideas presented here are applicable practically anywhere!
A brief note on spelling: - I've used mainly UK English spellings but there are also some US variants as more people are familiar with US English.
Please NoteThe ideas presented on this site are intended to help individuals and families to live a greener lifestyle. Many of the issues dealt with here have enormous political implications. This site does not address these political issues at all. It is simply intended for your personal information, to help you to find greener ways of living as things are at the moment.
