During the recent presidential campaign, I was listening to political commentary on the radio as they tried to explain how demographics in Red States and Blue States would determine the election results. I have one major problem with this – I am Purple and not just because I was mad that someone was trying to tell me how I would vote because of where I live and what I like to do.
As I got out of the car I saw a middle age couple getting out of an enormous pick-up truck carrying their re-usable shopping bag into the store and it struck me: We are much more alike than we are different. Everyone wants to “do good” but life circumstances force them to make choices. If we continue to frame our political and environmental discussion in black/white or Red/Blue, people will tune out (like I did with the radio).
I consider myself environmentally consious, but have a big family and own an SUV (our second car is a hybrid). This blog share what I have learned about “doing good” when it comes to the environement and hopefully provide others with some choices they have and inspire others to take action.
