Do you ever get up in the morning, and know you need to take care of something? Last night, I was on some people’s blogs and admiring how I was able to get to know them through their posts. It was so easy for them to let their readers into their lives. I felt like I was listening to an old friend tell me a story.

 So, I started to read the “About“ sections of their blogs to learn more about the authors of the different blogs. My favorite “About“ pages were the ones that were personal.  So, I questioned my own blog. Do people understand why I am writing this blog? Do my readers feel that they know me? Have I become an old friend to them?  Does my own About page tell my story?

  I knew the answer.  My About page only tells you why I started Green Talk but nothing about how I got to this green station in my life. I decided simply telling you that I built a green house and wishing to help others was just not good enough. I want my readers to know the why. So I decided to dish. My story is not as exciting as the Brad/Jen/Angelina triangle or as sexy as Dr. Christian Troy of Nip/Tuck (go ahead and click on the link and you will see why I mention “Dr Troy”)  …Read on…

Welcome to Green Talk. I built my house in 2005 using many green materials and found the process very hard. I am not talking about just using eco paint or glass tiles. I am talking about trying to make sure every building material that I used was energy efficient, nontoxic and sustainable. Weighing the costs versus the benefits and making some hard choices. It was a journey that surely is not complete. I am still looking for materials and each day learn more and more. So out of frustration and passion, Green-Talk was born.

This website is all about connection… Me connecting with you about my green experiences, you connection with me about yours, and others connecting with all of us to become more green

My mission is to connect those who made the large leaps and to those who still need a helping hand or those somewhere in between. Many of the posts on this site will be generated by my own personal experiences whether I am looking for an eco friendly material or someone stopped me to ask me a green question. I will be adding a forum to this site because I don’t have all the answers or all of the questions. So join with me on this ride and let’s turn the Planet green, one conversation at a time.   Anna Hackman
