What is Green Living?

Green Living is environmentally friendly, conscious, sustainable living. The most important thing to remember when you want to "go green" is to take small steps at a time. You can begin by choosing to recycle, reducing your energy use, use less water, avoiding toxic products for beauty and home, and buying environmentally beneficial products. 

Our personal daily choices impact the health of the world and each individual living in the world. My goal is to help you make small changes in your life so as a whole, we will have a big impact on the planet!

This section of my website will help provide you with knowledge and information on how to make informed green lifestyle decisions.

Stay Hydrated, Stay Healthy

  • glass of waterThe average human loses between 3 and 6 liters of water on a typical day. One to two liters rushes out as urine, and another one-tenth liter in defecation. Water lost as vapor when you breathe could fill around 1 to 2 liter water bottles a day and even more in arid locations. Sweat fills up another liter on an average day, but that amount can reach 1 to 2 liters per hour in an intense workout.

    But if you're dehydrated, that super gulp won't give you the quick fix you dream of. The body can only absorb about 1 quart per hour. Drink plenty of clean and filtered water throughout your day, every day. How much? A good rule of thumb is to drink enough water to equal 1/2 your body weight in ounces. For example: a 150 lb. person needs 75 ounces of water every day.
