| This brown lawn is actually green! |
Recent droughts have turned green lawns
brown. But don't worry, they're actually green. What? Good heavens,
I've really gone off the deep end this time, right? Really digging
for this one, right? You think? Not so fast, my peeps. Going brown
means going green in a drought, doesn't it? It means conserving
water, right? Not only that, there are plenty of other browns that
are actually green. The browns in your compost for instance.
Brown balances compost power.
Yin Yang, etc. etc. Without the brown
ingredients, compost is just a big pile of decayed, wet mush. You
have to mix it up a bit. Yup, compost is useless with those dried
leaves and other brown matter.
Brown bagging it can be green.
There is a train of thought that
suggests using brown paper lunch bags may be greener than those
re-usable plastic containers. After all, plastic manufacturing is not
exactly green, is it? And at least those brown bags can be recycled
or composted. I guess grandma knew what she was doing after all,
didn't she?
Brown University goes green.
“Brown is Green” is the slogan of a
Brown
University green initiative to promote and encourage green
events. And I thought this was my idea. Turns out, great minds really
do think alike.
Brown and Green is a great UK food
store.
Some of my readers are from the UK.
Maybe they even frequent Brown
and Green, a food store specializing in local and sustainable
food. That's certainly a green thing, isn't it?
Brown isn't the only green, either.
In fact, green comes in many colors. I
bet you can think of a few yourself. Re-usable shopping bags, for
instance. They come in beautiful multicolored prints, don't they?
They're not all green. And yet, yes they are.
Turns out a greener planet comes in all
colors. Who knew?
