Over on twitter, @earthwriter asked me if my organization (World Resources Institute) offer documents or advice for people who want to practice sustainability at home.
While WRI does have some offerings along those lines, our primary focus is at the government, business and institutional policy level.
But given the economic and environmental problems of our time (and Obama's refrain that it's not about him, it is about us and what we can do), more and more people are trying to green their lifestyle.
@earthwriter is a good example of this with his My Journey to a Sustainable Life site where he seeks to reduce his environmental footprint one decision at a time.
