Conclusions

Although we live in a world that seems to change constantly, it can be hard to adapt to this change. This is due in large part to the fact that it can be difficult to discern actual change from a fad—is this something that will eventually become the new “normal” or will it just die out in a few years like every other trend? Not to mention that most real changes seldom affect one sector of our lives—major adjustments are usually just that—major. Not only do we have to accept the change, we must rearrange our lives to accommodate for the change. The green movement and the push to be more eco-friendly has proven to be a significant change that will not only affect the way we live our lives, but affect the quality of life for us and for future generations. Although going green implies big changes, our individual actions need not be colossal adjustments. There are so many simple things that we can do to contribute to a cleaner world. These changes, if nothing else, will help us save money in a world where so much instability comes from the economy. By living green, we can have the security that comes from spending money wisely and making our part of Utah and the world a better place for us and our families.
