The staff at Greeniacs have all been busy learning about the many ways that we can choose earth friendly options in all aspects of our life and so, of course, we recycle in the office and buy recycled paper, support green businesses whenever possible and we are always looking for ways to improve.

We've learned that there are plenty of green choices to be made and one can still live an abundant life living "green".  What's really wonderful is that in the marketplace, which is naturally driven by supply and demand, we consumers get to vote for green products, or not, every time we make a purchase.  But we are limited to what's available.  And although times are changing, green options aren't always available or even very clear. 

Greeniacs knows that it's not easy making the shift towards considering the green implications of every little step you take.  It can start to feel very political and that's not what we're about, we're about encouraging everyone to just do what they can. Some of our staff are really green in their lifestyle and others employ a few practices in that direction... the point is that if people do what they can, when they can, gradually we will note improvements in our environment. 

Will choosing paper or plastic or bringing your own bags to the grocery store change the air quality in your neighborhood?  You won't notice a change immediately but it will certainly have an impact on your local landfill which does impact your community.  We know that every little step we take is just one more drop in the bucket, and thousands and millions of drops can add up to a tidal wave of difference over time. 

That's why Greeniacs.com is proud to announce to you that we've taken one more step in the "Green" direction. Greeniacs.com has moved it's server to a secure data center that is powered by 100% Hydroelectricity! We're just doing what we can, one step at a time.

P.S. And even if global warming isn't real, who wants to live in a polluted planet? Anything that people can do to improve air quality in the world  has got to be a good thing.
