How to be green - Daria's tips and trials

As we progress into the century, more and more people are becoming aware of their environment - and many are choosing greener solutions in all areas of their life.

Recycling, sustainability and eco-friendliness are no longer some novelty words. Swiftly, they sneaked into our reality and turned us more caring - more green.

I have a feeling I've been born with great appreciation and caring attitude for living and non-living things in my surroundings. With that bias, I grew into a person who easily accepted environmentally friendlier ideas - and many I invented myself and used them - long before I heard someone else recommending them.

Coming next are some of my personal living-green customs. They are not meant to give you and advice but rather - I'm sharing them to help you find your own better ways into a greener future.
