Green Girl

I reported not too long ago about my light-switch flipping ways . I tend to follow behind folks in my home and office turning off lights that they leave on carelessly. It started with my need to save money, but it has grown into much more than that as I’ve come to understand the real ecological effects of our collective carelessness.

I felt gratified for my small efforts when I went into the bathroom at my office building, and lo and behold, the building manager had installed a motion sensor light switch! From now on, it won’t just be me turning off the lights after I exit the restroom…we’ll all be turning them on and off just by going in and out! It’s neat to see people taking small steps to make a difference, and I’m excited to see if other small changes start popping up as well!
