The mission of this site is to make "going green" simple to understand, and will help people focus on the most influential things we can support, that will eventually have the biggest impact on our planet

Here are a couple questions we would like to provide you answers to...

• Do you know which effort will decrease the greenhouse gases the most?
• Do you know which effort will increase the amount of renewable energy usage?
• Do you know which effort will improve the water quality and reduce the water pollution more than any other?

With this knowledge, we can properly focus our resources and money on the efforts that will give us the biggest "bang for our buck"!

We also want to provide you with a simple way to monitor how we (United States) are changing the actual numbers, so we know if all our efforts are making a difference or not. The Department of Energy has a huge database of information about this topic, we just want to make it easier for you to make sense of it, so you can see what impact your actions will have on the big picture of "going green"!

Here is an example of a chart we like to monitor...

We also attempted to provide sources of our information as much as possible, so you can see why we added or left off an action from the list. We have some actions that have not made it onto our site, because we haven't found enough evidence supporting it, or don't know about it. Please contact us if we are missing something, or you don't agree with our statements.

If you'd like to learn about us personally, check out an article that a local paper wrote about our site >>>
