Not "why" but "how"?

People often ask, "why be green?" I decided not to focus on the "why" as much, since there are multiple reasons. I could wax on about the consequences of global climate change, the adverse effects of our fast food culture on both our bodies and our ecosystems, our over consumption, yet these are issues we are talking about. At school, We would jokingly call our environmental classes "doomsday classes" because we would hear so much about impending catastrophes and the failure of our institutions (companies, governments, international institutions) to hold themselves accountable, it started to feel hopeless. At this point, I understand the "why." Now, it's time to focus on the "how." How can I, as an individual, learn to live sustainably? How can I eat, clean, work, celebrate and travel in a way that allows me to reduce my negative impact on the planet? How can we as citizens come together to learn, implement, and advocate for sustainable measures in our lives?

Green in the City is meant to focus on the "how." Focusing on the "why" fills me with an overwhelming sense of dread and a desire to fight. Focusing on the "how" can help me make my fight more effective.
