I have chosen not to own a car, and instead have joined a car sharing service. I take public transportation and when the weather cooperates I ride my bike. My roommate and I recycle more than we throw away and started composting last month using biodegradable bags. I turn the lights off when I leave the room and we’re replacing our incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents. So while landfill and pollution problems are on the rise and continue to be a worldwide concern and over seven billion tampons and thirteen billion sanitary pads and their packaging make their way into landfills and sewage systems in the USA, I’ve decided to do my part, and become more green when I’m moving through the red.
