Searching for Sustainability and Offsetting Carbon Footprints in Wonderful Wyoming

My name is Trish Popovitch and I am lucky enough to get to blog about all things green on this site. I am also privileged to live in Wyoming, home to the nation’s freshest air and cleanest streams. And I, like my fellow Wyomingites, want to keep it that way. Around here, people like to say Wyoming was green before green became fashionable. From homemade irrigation and community spaces to self sufficient living and the beautiful wide open landscape, Wyoming is the place for talking about sustaining the environment.

People that don’t live here often presume a lot of things about our state. Yes, the oil industry is abundant here. Yes, the mining is ubiquitous. But so are the wild horses, acres of state land, waterfalls, mountain ranges and people who believe in keeping Wyoming as unspoiled as possible. With the lowest state population, Wyoming is a semi private sanctuary that provides me a rich always present relationship with the natural world.

In my blog I want to explore the effect we as human beings have on our natural environment, the necessary and the avoidable. Lowering individual carbon footprint is a matter of research, self education and a well formed concept of reasonableness. My goal is to assist in providing awareness on matters such as global warming and green products and leave the decisions up to you. I will share the information I find during my cyber ramblings, provide my perspective and hope you join the conversation to agree, deny, challenge and provoke.

Living in an apartment in one of the country’s most plentiful natural environments affords me the opportunity to explore economic solutions to greening up the home. It doesn’t take much research on sustainability and natural resources to realize, that no matter where we live or how much money we make, we have the ability to help improve our world. I hope you join me as I lower my carbon footprint and improve my awareness.

I could use the company.
