At the starting line.

The first sentence is always the hardest to write. It’s supposed to grab your audience’s attention, and make them excited to read your writing! Like omg! I can never think of just one sentence to introduce a topic and generate enthusiasm all at once. I’ve heard the key is to start slightly off topic, as I have here, because I am actually going to write about going green. Did it work?
This is actually my first blog and at the moment I feel a bit like a nerdy virgin about to lose his virginity, at least how tv portrays it. I’m just going to clumsily make my way from here.
I want to echo the words of politicians in saying that I am just like every other American. I am not a politician, however, and I realize that would be mostly a lie. We’re all different, unique, “special in our own way” if you will. We have however, common experiences, beliefs, needs, goals, and most importantly a common Earth. And this Earth has been loved, just like that teddy bear that’s missing an eye. We need to take better care of it if we are going to continue to live on it.
Most people who know me would say that I’ve always been a bit of a hippie. And it’s funny ’cause it’s true. I’ve also tried to fit in with the mainstream and go along with massive consumerism, but it’s just too overwhelming for me. I don’t know why or when exactly I got this idea in my head to do something about the environmental crisis instead of just caring about it, but I recently acquired much more time in my day due to the economical crisis. I started looking up how to go green, how to do…whatever it is I’m supposed to do about this all. At first all I found were generic lists of use CFL lightbulbs, turn the heat off when you’re not home, blah, blah, etc., etc.
I thought there just weren’t any good resources out there, until I started looking for resources for this blog, when I found… a plethora! So, while this isn’t going to be the first on the topic, at least I’ll have some idea of what I’m writing about.
These are my adventures on my journey to save the planet. I will dodge obstacles, fight battles against the unseen, and even myself. I’m just like Frodo! Probably even just as short.
Tune in next time for… The blue basket of reincarnation! (cue suspenseful music)
