A tough question to answer when faced with living an eco-friendly life is, “Why should I get involved?” In reality, many people think that if their friends don’t have to change their lifestyles, it’s not fair for me too. Or the thought that our population is so ginormous that my changes are not going to save our planet or make a difference.

So, “why should you get involved? Why are Lauren and Kate starting a blog about environmental practices and adventures?” The answer is simple – we are spreading the news and causing awareness in all of us coming together to make these changes! If 5 people make changes, that is helping our planet. Furthermore, some immediate issues resulting in the lack of involvement since the Industrial Revolution include:

• Your health
• Natural disasters
• Food shortages
• Lack of diversity of animals and plant life from deforestation
