More on GreenerMiami: What, Why & How

This will be my first official post, as the others had been previously written. As I previously stated, this blog was kind of inspired by trash - but my mind has since wandered to cover all sorts of interesting and "green" topics. I'll mention them here, and from here on out hope to start with normal day to day posts.

I want to make it easier to do the right thing.

I guess if I had to sum it up, that would be what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm interested in education - of myself and other consumers, as well as business and government.

I decided to call the site "GreenerMiami" because I want to work towards a Greener Miami. To the the "-er" add to the Green makes a difference. Last year I read some great advice on Treehugger (my "idol" site) - not every "green" solution is perfect - but most of them are fantastic steps in the right direction. The purpose here is not to criticize people trying to make a difference, because through imperfect solutions we learn. So I hope that each day we can make Miami a bit of a Greener place to be.

It’s a Dirty Blog, But Somebody’s Got to Do it

GreenerMiami is something I've been thinking about since the end of last year, slowly putting together my thoughts on the subject. Back in November, I wrote some potential posts for when I lauched the blog. I have delayed so much that the purpose/focus has changed and evolved, but I figure I should go ahead and publish what I had, and then go and update with new posts along the way. So here goes...!

Welcome! GreenerMiami is my latest endeavor – and one I’m really excited about. Inspired by the fact that my condo building in Miami, Florida doesn’t recycle and the daily guilt and disgust that goes along with that, I’ve started this project. Wanting to make a difference locally, educate myself and others at the same time, and all the while document my experience has led me to create this new blog.
