Thinking Green!
A few questions to consider while reading Living Like Ed by Ed Begley, Jr.
- After reading Living Like Ed, are you now more aware of how your actions affect the environment?
- Did you realize that you've already doing some of the things that Ed suggests in the book? What are those things?
- What are some of the changes you can't make right now but that you would like to make in the future?
- How has "going green" actually helped you save money?
- Is there any area where you've attempted to be eco-friendly and failed? Are you willing to try it again in the future?
- What changes have you seen in your environment since you were a kid? Do you think people are more environmentally aware now?
- Do you believe that many people making small changes can really affect the environment?
- Do you think that the future looks greener?
- How did reading Living Like Ed change your view and/or behavior?
- Conserving saves money as well as the environment. Are you now more attuned to conservation?
- What other books have you read that influence your views on the environment?
- There's a big "Keep it Local" movement afoot. Do you mostly buy or sell locally? do you make or grow locally?
