Sunfire asks if being Pagan/Wiccan makes you more eco-conscious or if being Pagan/Wiccan and being green are two seperate things.
Well, it just depends. I know plenty of non-Pagans who are eco-conscious. I know plenty of Pagans who are not. I tend to be a bit more eco-conscious than I was before I started to follow my Wiccan path. Granted living in my apartment make recycling a bit on the difficult side, as I don’t get a recycle bin and our recycling center is only for those items that are not taken by the city.
I’ve tried to get my landlords to look into the dumpster company’s recycling program, but frankly, they tend not to want to pay the extra costs involved with doing so. So, I don’t get to recycle as much as I would like. That’s definitely one of the reasons I’d like to move – I’d like to find a place that I can actually recycle.
I’m preparing to switch to the new, eco-friendly lightbulbs, although honestly, I feel they’re not much more eco-friendly than regular incandescent bulbs. The reason I say this is that frankly, they have way too much packaging. I mean, seriously. My friends purchase them and they have so much packaging and it’s all plastic. They have more packaging than the regular bulbs from my perspective. Bleh.
But I do try to purchase items that included recycled materials for the packaging. I try to recycle when I can and when I can’t I feel badly about it. There is a lot more I could be doing to be green, but then again, there’s a lot more everyone could be doing to be green.

Thanks for posting! Glad to have you on board with us!
I agree that it is a shame more places don’t recycle, and they see it as a hassle to establish. One day, the demand will grow to the point that recycling is a standard everywhere.
