Get a Grip – Living Green
Part A – Get a Grip!!
By Steve Lawrence:
Since I designed and built my own passive solar home over 30 years ago, I have been living green. Every energy saving makes a difference! Whatever our next life, future generations “will” be left here with “our” legacy! Our society is so concerned with providing our children with the skills they need to be successful. What good are those skills if we make our planet unliveable?
My eyes opened with a flight to L.A. in 1970. I couldn’t believe the smog that overhung that city! Even today, driving into any major city will probably be along a multilane highway which merges with other multilane arteries that are jam-packed. From a distance we see the haze from all the fossil fuels we are burning to heat an d cool our homes, power our vehicles, provide electricity, and maintain lifestyle. Consider all the major centers in this world; it is not hard to imagine the collective environmental impact mankind has been making!
