Laziness and the Environment.

This title looks like I am going to rail on people that are too lazy to care about the environment.

Not True!

No, as I have voiced here before, I am at my fundamental core – lazy. With so much change going on in the world I often feel like I just need a nap. Really it is the personal decision making process that is so exhausting. Should I get the Organic socks, or the recylced ones? Is a hybrid better or worse than running Biodiesel? What if my ethanol is from a corn based feedstock and not Switch grass or cellulosic waste product? Does that make me a horrible person? Should I reclaim some furniture that looks bad or buy new sustainable harvest wood designs?

Can you hand me that pillow, I’m just going to lie down here for a sec…

Fortunately there are many people out there to guide us through our new enlightenment. A Beacon of Green Light as it were. One great example just came out:

The Lazy EnvironmentalistThe Lazy Enivronmentalist’s Guide to Green Living.

Full Disclosure: The Author Josh Dorfman is a friend and has always been a great supporter of Reware.

Here is what I love about Josh’s approach in everything he is doing: Environmentalism comes across as accessible to everyone, with a complete lack of “holier than thou” speak. He makes this stuff fun and the book reflects that approach. I totally recommend it as a easy starting point to figure out how to work some of this stuff into your life.

This is Josh’s first book, but he has become a bit of a green media mogul – you can check out his Radio program on Lime (Sirius Satellite). Both are good, interesting places to start in the green thing.

And most importantly none will make you feel like you need to lie down for a bit.
