I’ve been writing this blog since 2009. When I first started, my aim was to share with readers some of the ideas I have tried out in my own life to help me (and my family) live a little greener, and also to share information what businesses and groups in the area have done to move in the same direction.

The one biggest thing that’s changed in my life over the last three years is how much easier it has become to consider environmental impacts when I make decisions. From what I get at the grocery store to what I buy for my home to how I travel, it has become second nature to me to consider sustainability when I’m making my choices.

I certainly don’t always make the right ones, but I can say that I am trying hard to walk the walk while I’ve been talking the talk.

I’ve gotten good feedback from some of the groups and businesses I’ve featured, so I hope I’ve helped connect people in the community to these eco-friendly businesses and products.

Maybe I’ve helped answer some readers’ questions about green living, or at least given readers new questions to chew on.

I just wanted to take time out in this last blog to say thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts with me, and to let you know I will still be with WYDaily working hard to keep readers connected to what’s happening in the community.

Don’t stop emailing me your eco-news, though! We’ll still be writing stories about environmental happenings and information. Email me at desiree@wydaily.com if you have something to share.

I wish that people would also be interested in the giant coal plant that is about to be approved to be built just 15 miles (or less) away from Jamestown and Williamsburg and all of the mercury, radiation, and toxic pollution that it will contaminate our region. This plant is going to be more harmful to our ozone, water systems, plant and animal life, children and baby development, than a million out-dated light bulbs left on for years. Green living in our daily lives is wonderful. We also need to be advocates for our environment when a coal plant is ominously looming over all of our heads. You are about to get a very dirty neighbor.
