To practice a healthy lifestyle and my carbon footprint reduce
To support sustainability, goods and services consciously choose
To reduce and recycle, take time to find
Ethically sourced brands- I am inclined
To do all of this and more, I firmly believe
In being a responsible citizen, but to achieve
These lofty goals would need more time than I can spare
To research everything carefully, to make myself aware
To find reliable sources in order to understand
How to distinguish between regular and green brands
The fine print it is important to scrutinize
The “ethically sourced” product may not be as “ethical” as advertised
*
When I first decided to change my pattern of consumption
To a more socially and environmentally conscious one
I tried to change everything all at once and thought
The transition would be an easy one, but it is not
What constitutes environment-friendly and ethically sourced
Often lies in the gray zone, but the product is costlier, of course
So trying to do it right means doing diligent research on my own
To go into the details of how something was manufactured or grown
*
Now I make small changes in a manner stepwise
Trying to do the right thing does exact a price
In terms of actual dollars but investment of time too
Therefore I am still not living in the manner I would like to..
Passion...unbridled
