Going green does not have to be painful. In fact, in order to move from a 'normal' life to a greener one, you can start by taking just a handful of tiny steps that we like to call Micro Steps. Micro Steps are small changes you can make to your everyday life patterns - easy to do one or two to start, and they all add up over time.
