God, Mother Nature, President of the Universe, take your pick which one you believe in. Which ever it is they must be laughing at us humans.
Why are they laughing, because we keep picking the dirtiest and most dangerous options for our energy needs. Natural gas and oil, coal, wind and solar. There are other options but these are the “big boys” of energy.
Some greater force buried natural gas, oil and coal deep in the earth. It is dangerous to get to them and more dangerous to work with them, not to mention dirty and well, oily.
Wind and solar energy are certainly above ground. They are both just out there waiting for someone to come along and put them to work. They are not to dangerous, we send out kids out to play in them. They are not dirty at all, we all love the smell of things warmed by the sun.
So yeah, some greater and all knowing force has got to be laughing us.

I hear a lot of people say that being green is too expensive. I found that generally just the opposite is true.
Check out the price of just your cleaning supplies. You probably paid around $3 for each bottle. Now look at the price of your baking soda and vinegar. Did you know that you can clean almost anything with baking soda and vinegar.
Buying second hand clothes is being green and almost always less expensive especially if you have children. Some of my favorite pieces have come from second hand stores.
Planning your errands saves gas and time. I try to stop at stores that I drive by on the way home from work and not back track to them on the weekend.
These are just three examples of how being green can save you green. This list could go on for about forever but I am betting that you are smart enough to come up with at least ten more of your own ways to be green and save green.
