My name is Brad.  I am a middle-aged, divorced man who has wants to make a real difference.  I have always felt this way.  Until recently you could have called me a rebel without a cause, my friends may say a rebel with out a clue!  LOL  I have always wanted to be kinder to the planet, but never took the time.  I am the type of person that needs to research things and do things right, but never had the time. 

So, what started me on this quest?  I had been on the fence about global warming, but I had seen a program that showed me some statistics that were hard to ignore.  I am not here to convince you of global warming.  I just state this because this was the trigger to get me off my ass and start to take action.  I will openly tell you that I believe humans are the cause of global warming.  But I am not here to argue about that.  This site is not about that.

As far as being green goes, at the beginning of this whole process, I am definitely not green.  I drive a truck, have a lot of electronic toys, and I don't even recycle.  I have always been somewhat conscious of trying to be green, unless it interfered with something that I wanted.  I do not intend on giving up too much.  In fact, I will see what I can do with my truck, rather than get rid of it.  I would love to live in a self-contained house, off the grid, with a truck that uses only renewable, clean fuel.  I am not sure that I will reach that goal, but let's will see how close I can get.

I hope this blog informs and inspires others on being green.  We need to make a difference, and we need to make changes TODAY.
