Is it living off the grid? Living in a green house? Working at a green job? What exactly does it mean to be green?

At its essence, a sustainable lifestyle, or living green, refers to a lifestyle and set of choices that minimizes a person's environmental impact.

As expressed in our eco friendly training, applying sustainability concepts one way today may not be the sustainable solution of tomorrow. Your life circumstances change so it's in your approach to life that matters.
