Upon venturing out into the world in my adult life, I saw how very not black and white the world is. Not everybody can afford to make a better choice about their car they drive, but their carbon footprint might be smaller because they can't afford to drive and take public transit instead. And what about packaging? And products? A lot of times the so-called “green” products are expensive and don't seem so worthwhile for the average consumer.

And then there's “green washing.” And affordability… and convenience vs. household finances and stresses… and… and… and…

Not everybody has the resources, the time or the energy that others have to invest in “going green.”

So, let's take a look at that.

Let's discuss it. Let’s talk about the little everyday changes that can make a big difference. Let's see what products are worth while and are economical. Let's see what products are worthwhile but are less economical and available only to some but not to all.

Let's see what we can do together to make a difference.

Small actions in large numbers make a big impact.

That's the goal of Ant Café. Let's work together and see what we can do to help care for this planet we all live on and love so much!
