A greener life can achieved by most of us by just choosing and opting for different products and thinking about how we can make our environment at home and at work greener.

Rather than large scale urban development, we need to encourage the development of communities that can house more people in affordable well built attractive looking homes, not huge ugly high rise buildings.

Making it easier to live a sustainable lifestyle and being committed to it and enjoying green living, can have a very positive impact on our environment.
