Welcome!

I've been kickin around this idea for a while -- To write a blog about "Going Green" from the perspective of one who has No Clue what that is, or means, or how the heck to do it. I mean, I have some idea. But not a Big Idea. Not enough so I can talk about green things with people who are already green savvy and not sound like a complete idiot.

So - I will tell you a bit about myself: I live in the Garden State - NJ - but just last spring actually did my first bit of gardening. My neighboor, Judy, has a wonderful Green Thumb, and she came over and helped me plant some really beautiful flowers next to my driveway. And miracle of miracles -- they Lived! Up until then, anything I ever planted turned black and died within just a few days. But these lovelies lasted all spring and summer long. So I was hooked. With gardening. And now this spring I've planted some new lovelies and am eagerly waiting for them to bloom.

But I digress... I was telling you about my Going Green idea.

So - I was thinking -- I have all these questions about environmentalism. Truly, I am without a clue on so many things. Like, down the street from me, there is a house with solar panels on its roof. Now, I realize that solar energy is not new, and I understand that the reason for it, is because using the sun for energy is truly better than using other things for energy... But like, how does it all work? And how much does it cost? And what about it is the draw to do something like that to your home? Can the average person do it, or do you need to be quite well off to even Think about it?

So this blog will be my journey into researching all kinds of green things. How things are done. Why. How much it costs.
