Introduction

This blog begins soon after Independence Day 2010 in the United States. This is an opportunity to celebrate not only freedom, but to work toward more energy independence. There are many ways to move forward on this journey, by taking steps back from dependence on oil and other fossil fuels: adding green remodeling to your home or apartment; purchasing eco-friendly clothing, locally-grown food or fuel-efficient vehicles; and increasing the number of environmentally-friendly practices in your life. These might include driving less, and taking public transportation and walking more; buying items locally; and simply, unplugging appliances when not in use. These ideas have been and continue to be explored in other forums; a goal of Greener Focus is to present the green possibilities available to individuals, and ways to make life greener.

We should also remind ourselves why we are doing all of this work: both to protect the environment for the future, for sons and daughters (not just our own); and because it's a beautiful world. Let's invest in it, and enjoy it.
