You’ve probably heard of the growing movement and organization that promotes Random Acts of Kindness, but what about the idea of Random Acts of Green- Ness.

The other day when we were experiencing a January thaw, I was driving down my road and saw a couple picking up garbage that was littering our street. Wow. I was awe-struck that this couple who didn’t seem to be with an organization (I’ve seen both the Boy and Girl Scouts doing a road clean-up) took it upon themselves to clean up the road. It then him me that maybe Random Acts of Green-Ness should become the next good deeds to strive towards.

How many times have you taken a walk – either on your road, on the beach, or in the woods – and seen garbage strewn here and there. In addition to polluting the earth, it’s also a hazard to wildlife and domestic animals. Next time you head for some fresh air, bring along a garbage bag and pick up that garbage rather than walking by it.

What other Random Acts of Green-Ness could we all do on a daily basis? What about making sure you shut the lights off in your home and offices when they’re not needed. I hate it when I drive by a big office building late at night to see all of the lights on – why? Is it really necessary?

Simple steps do make big differences. Stay tuned for more Random Acts of Green-Ness. If you witness these random acts, please share them with us at our forum.
