  GreenSmart (for Individuals)  
The necessity of living sustainably for the health of our families, communities and planet is not a trend, it is our new reality. We are using our natural resources faster than the earth can replace them. We are adding pollutants to our air, water and land faster than natural systems can remove them. But this new reality doesn't need to be gloomy, because each one of us can make a difference.

Every choice we make affects our environment and the use of its limited resources - our transportation, what we eat, how we build and furnish our homes, and the recreational activities we enjoy. Sustainability is not about deprivation, it's about making wiser choices.
