An Effort in Green

Hello! Thanks for coming to An Effort in Green.

My name is Lianne Lavoie. I, like most people my age, was brought up to believe that protecting our environment is important. I learned all about reduce, reuse, recycle, and why it's bad to litter. As I got older, though, and especially as I made my way through university, I began to realise that this is not enough. The planet is being horribly abused, and only we can stop it. But talking about how bad it is doesn't seem to motivate a lot of people. So that's not what I do here. Here I'll talk about the progress I make. I'll talk about the big changes I make, and the tiny little changes that can really add up. My hope is that this blog will motivate me to do more for the environment, and will give anyone who reads it some ideas for what they can do.

If we all stop thinking that nothing we do can make a difference, we'll start to see change.
