Sustainability Challenge: Where Am I Now?

As of right now, there are not a lot of "green" things that I am doing in my life. I don't really believe in all the hype about going green. I don't think that one person making these changes that people in a position of power talk about can really change the whole environment. I agree that there are a lot of harmful effects from things that we do in our everyday lives such as driving non-hybrid cars, not recycling, and using things such as hairspray, but I also believe that "going green" is nothing but a political ploy to make money. People are trying to make a bigger issue out of all of this than it really is. People are too gullable and will believe anything that a celebrity says without doing the research on their own. I am sure that there is a lot that I could do to be more environmentally friendly, but I don't think that I alone can make any substantial change like a lot of people are talking about. For my sustainability challenge, I am going to try to recycle for ten days and see how much of a change I can actually make.
