When you discover a cool green habit that you straight-up love, why not make an even bigger positive impact by sharing it with the world? Log on and sound off about your personal favorite sustainable choices, and help others find their way to some of the nifty green stuff you're doing on a daily basis. Letting others in on your rad eco-secrets is one of the coolest uses for the internet/interweb/web-o-sphere/series of tubes, so whatever you want to call the internet, get out there and colonize it like an eco-savvy conqueror.
Green Message Boards
Whether it's the Planet Green forums, the discussion forums over on Treehugger, or in another spot where greenies gather online, it's fun and rewarding to jump into the discussion and share some solutions with like-minded folks. A little healthy and educated debate with people who are passionate and knowledgeable about environmentally-conscious living can help you refine your choices and ideas, and you'll definitely be grinning if you get some positive feedback from a stranger half the world away who's decided to adopt one of your green habits into their own daily routine.
Your Personal Audience
It's great to preach practical green info to the choir, but you can also make a really major difference by reaching out to folks who wouldn't otherwise be thinking about their footprint. Take your green habits to your personal audience by sharing some eco-thoughts with friends and comrades on your blog, on your Facebook or Myspace or other social networking page, over your Twitter, or (if you're a fancy video-type person) on your YouTube channel. Put some great ideas for sustainable living out there where people might not expect to find them, and you just might turn some new eyeballs to the cause, which is a great goal to have as an eco-crusader. Does your grandma read your Live Journal? Wouldn't she benefit from hearing about a sturdy reusable shopping bag you've just discovered? Make it easy for your circle of nearest and dearest to join you on the path to a sustainable tomorrow by putting the facts they need right in front of them.
Your Professional Audience
One of the most lasting ways to make an ecological difference is by finding ways to green your industry. If you're an architect, bring concerns about ecologically sustainable materials into the discussion on your favorite building blog. If you're a fashion designer, sound off about cool organic fabrics in a design forum that you frequent. No matter what you do for a living, there are ways to make it greener, so when you find one, share it with others who are in your same professional boat.
