I decided to take a couple of hours off of school work to do some "green" exploring. theres this one street by my school that has a lot of facinating stores. i always pass them by on the bus. so i decided today to get off early and check of few of these places. the first place was mehera shaws. im really happy i stopped there. i've been looking for an organic and fair-trade clothing store. the stuff there is a bit expernsive, but thats how it is until organic is used more and gets cheaper. the next day i go to another green store that was great. it had electric scooters, bio-degradable utincils, bamboo towels and many more. the two next big "green" things im going to buy is a solar charger and bamboo towels. its been a slow process to changing things over to more efficient and healthier ways of living. my family has learned to accept it. its not like im a bratty kid whining about buying a new pair of shoes or something. these things benefit many people and the planet.
it gets a bit tiring having so many people try to rip my "green" stance. i would never tear at someones belief unless it was seriously harming others. is it so hard to be accepting? do they really get anything out of it? does it make them feel better? i dont shove this in their faces and call them horrible people. if they ask then i will explain my view and nothing else. some people just dont want to change and thats what i stand for. people dont want to change how they live. maybe they think if they admit it then they have to pay a high price as retribution. its really not that hard. it just takes a little extra thinking to get around it. it olny becomes a big deal because they make it into one. why is it so hard for people in this time to take responsibility.
