      Over the course of Our Green Year，we completely changed our lifestyle．We now shop at organic（有机的）stores．We consume less meat，choosing green food．We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need．We have given away half of what we owned through websites．Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice，with no chemical cleaners．We make our own butter，enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread．In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished．
      Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year．We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others．We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet．
