Heyyy everyone!

[greener]

Hi everybody, I'm new here and pretty new to using forums. I thought I would join this forum so that maybe I might become more aware of the state of the earth, and also maybe to educate myself more on the things that I can do and change, to make the world a better place to live for everyone. I thought that a forum might be a great place to start because there are so many websites and so much information all over the web that I find it very over whelming, really hard to navigate, and I don't know where to start. I can tell you that I have changed my light bulbs over to compact flouresants, I turn more lights off, I actively participate as much as possible in earth hour, I recycle like you wouldn't beleive. Sometimes I find myself throwing things in the trash that I wish I knew where I could recycle them, but just dont know if I can. I'm trying to grow some of my own vegetables this spring, I dont know how it will work out but thought I would give it a try anyway. Anyway, I'm rambling on here so I thing I will go try and find a forum to talk in.
Hope to talk to you all soon.

Hi greener, check out each of the stickies that start out each forum that you're interested in, usually lot's of helpful tips, and ideas on how to find out more. What are you going to grow in London Ont this year?

I've started some green beans, some tomatoes, and some peppers. I wish had a yard so I could grow a lot more, I can't wait to buy a house with a yard and grow my own fruits and vegetables. I'm also going to try and buy more locally grown foods at farmers markets and such, you can only buy so much local produce here in canada being that we cant grow crops all year round cuz of the snow. I imagine that the produce they have at the local markets here in the winter must be from warmer climate far from us. I've considered growing my own vegetables all year round in my house under lighting, but thought that if I did this I might be contributing to more unneeded energy consumption. I've been reading alot about genetically altered produce and I'm really worried about what I'm ingesting when I buy produce that isn't organic, or even when it is organic, it may still be genetically altered but just grown organically, man it's scary, you have to have a high level of awareness these days. Thanks for the tips on the stickys.
