Urban vs. Rural: Which is the better way to live? Silly question, in my opinion. In fact, I’m going to go ahead and say that one is not “better” than the other. We need both. There are too many different kinds of people in this world for a one-size-fits-all lifestyle or environment. But.

I received a really nice letter from a friend and reader, Cheri. She shared with me some of the things her family does to decrease their daily impact on the environment. All of the items on her list are easy to implement into our lives– there’s really no reason not to. But because I know, from experience, that unless green lifestyle changes are easy as pie to implement, we ain’t gonna follow through with them, folks! So, I have decided to not only share her list of great ideas, but to also do the things on the list. Check back soon for a video series of me demonstrating the items on Cheri’s list, so that you can see how it’s all done, and hopefully also try it yourself. I will begin to post the videos next week!
