Biweekly sustainability tips and advice for people and organizations
If there’s one word best describes most people’s lives, it’s probably “BUSY”. So much to do, so little time. But that means important things – like learning to live more sustainably on a straining, overburdened planet – sometimes get pushed to the sidelines.
That’s why Carl launched Green Ideas over a decade ago: to help busy people learn about sustainability in quick, doable bytes. Every two weeks, Green Ideas provides a new tip about saving money, energy and our environment, bundled with a few recent news links and a timely quotation. It’s sharp and short, so you can learn on the fly.
