About

GREEN LIVING IN A MODERN AMERICA

 The Greener Side is about choosing a green lifestyle suited to modern tastes and behaviors.  It is about recognizing there is another way to live on Earth; a better way to live on Earth.  Humanity’s impact on the planet is no longer something we as a society can ignore, and since our government refuses to lead the green revolution, it is time for the citizens to make their voices heard.  America needs to step up to the plate.   After all, our insane rate of consumption of everything we can get our hands on is a huge part of the current world crisis.  Case in point: If everyone on Earth led the same lifestyle as Americans, it would take three Earths to keep up with consumption, and our population is now exploding at an exponential rate. 

But The Greener Side is not about focusing on the problems.  The Greener Side is about solutions.  This site will celebrate the frontrunners who are changing the face of American society not merely to appease a hunger for capital gain but to change the world.  This site will show local governments and movements already pushing for change.  This site will not only celebrate the heroes who keep the grass green on their side of the fence but will also seek to encourage you to implement green choices into your life.

We are here to show you that making the right choices for the environment is not only the right thing to do but the smart thing to do.  The survival of our species depends on us making changes, and these changes are now inevitable.  Americans must act if we intend to keep up with the rest of the world.  But this doesn’t mean leading lives of complete frugality and sacrifice.  All the resources we need to eliminate our impact on the planet exist.  Some have been discovered already and are evolving technologies.  Others have yet to be created.  But the human brain is capable of unlocking Nature’s greatest secrets.

The face of the environmentalist has changed.  You no longer have to develop a whole new identity to support sustainable lifestyle choices.  In fact, it is imperative that these choices become universal across all cultural and ideological boundaries.  Modern man (and woman) need not sacrifice sophisticated tastes for the world to survive our heyday.  We need only use responsible means while enjoying our time on Earth so it will still be here for our grandchildren. 

So step onto this side of the fence.  The grass is much greener over here.
