Baby Steps Continued

We're beginning to sense a theme here... green... baby... green... baby... green baby. Now, that's what we're talking about!

Quoted from Jutta Lehmar, Aurora Design, Albuquerque NM, on the challenge of greening your design practice and your clients.

“... All the little stuff may seem like baby steps or even ‘greenwashing’ to some. But I really have to say that it’s okay to do baby steps to go green. It’s just better than to give up. So in my own blog and on my website I share little stories about something green that people can do and I encourage them that it matters. We need acknowledgment that what we do matters, that our actions count. There is no use in making people feel bad about what they don’t do (yet). For me, it’s about my own journey to go further in my own efforts — in life and in business. Like with any change, a slower approach is more likely to work than a radical one... Just offering alternatives to what they have been doing creates an awareness of possibilities. To reconfigure the mindset to green is where it all starts.”
