I have created a ”green meme” to find out how people are acting green in their everyday life. Please take this, localise it and use it to make people reflecting on their green choices:

What do you do in your everyday life, that you would consider green ?

I read a lot about green issues since the wellbeing of the planet is very important to me. I buy ecological ( organic) as often as possible – we get veggies and fruit and meat from ecological farmers.
I bath at 30 c instead of 40 c.
My next task is to convince my boyfriend that we need an green car instead of a largely gasoline consuming car – no matter the price.
I have two sponsor animals and a sponsored child in cabo verde
And I used to be a vegetarian for 5 years…
I made a pledge on green girls global to only buy green clothes, if I choose new, from now on – so far I have been sticking to it.
I like vintage furniture and clothing – and I am pretty much reusing everything

How is your surroundings supporting your green ways?

Well, the danish government is rather green, we have a lot of windmills and the focus is on alternative energy for the future ( windmill parks etc) – also they are currently decreasing the price on eco friendly cars so people better can afford them. They are starting to be focused on global warming and that’s a good development ( I would have liked this to happen10 years ago though)..

How is your surrounding standing in your way of green choices ?
I think that the mentality of people are changing for the better. Normally people would say ” what concious choices I make does not effect other people, not on a large scale anyway”.

I think the world is changing and people are getting heard and are influencing people on larger scales than usually, and that’s a good thing..

Is there any actions you want to take to create a more green enviroment around you?

Well I would like to make a ”these come from trees campaign at work, and then make some ”print nothing days”… and get more documents to be electronic…

What is the biggest threat to the earth’s wellbeing these days ?

I would say that consumption and the focus on economic growth is the biggest threat. Somehow I would think that this focus was more important elsewhere.

Whom are you going to tag in the green meme ?

All of the greengirlsglobal editors, Tara Hunt, Peter Kazanjy, Duarte Grilo, Rebecca Blood, David Camacho and Stephanie Booth
