Jeff McIntyre-Strasburg of Sustainablog attributes his love of nature to lots of camping trips as a child. In his post: “How to Turn Your Kid into a Treehugger” Jeff looks at research by the College of Human Ecology at Cornell that indicates enjoyable experiences of nature in youth can shape the way we feel about the environment as adults.

This week’s Carnival of the Green is hosted by Dirty Greek, and what a green carnival it is too. The St. Patrick’s day theme is swarming with leprechauns, along with a veritable feast of green blogging.
EcoStreet’s Guide to Green Cleaning is featured in this the 18th Carnival of the Green. Thanks to the Dirty Greek for including us.
My pick of the week is Worsted Witch’s post entitled: What is Sustainability? A little reminder every now and again of what we are trying to achieve doesn’t go amiss.

Are We Green Yet?
Progress on alternative energy is difficult to keep up with. I will attempt to keep abreast of new developments in energy conservation here. Combating global warming won’t get off the ground if we don’t know what to do on an individual basis. I want to see changes made, I want to feel we are all doing our part. Don’t leave it for someone else. Everything we do locally adds up to global changes. Let’s starting thinking and acting green. Everyday, we need to ask ourselves Are we green yet?
