It’s Not Easy Being Green…. Or is it?

Used to be, the only celebrity who could claim to be “green” was Kermit the Frog. Nowadays you can’t pick up a paper (or in my case, your wife’s People magazine) without reading about how everyone in Hollywood is sporting the green life. But let’s face it, we can’t all be like Leo or Cameron. I like Mother Earth too, but what’s a common dude to do?

After a quick browse on TeachStreet, I learned there’s no excuse: I can go green today. For starters, there’s a landscaping course that teaches how to be ‘energy wise.’ I could learn how to make my own Biodiesel — and the class is walking distance from my house (two green thumbs up!) There’s even a class on Solar Home Design — I’m curious to learn how they can make that work in Seattle (if you’ve taken that class, post a comment and let us in on the secret!!)

Maybe it’s not so hard to be green after all. Here’s a sampling of what’s out there:

• Energy Wise Landscaping
• Make Your Own Biodiesel
• Solar Home Design
• Master Composting/Soil Builder Trainer
• Think Green!
• Basics of Commuting
