Reduce Footprints- Small Footprints

Reduce Footprints is about easy ways for each of us to reduce our footprint on the earth. Not everyone can buy a hybrid car or build an Eco-friendly house. For those that can, great! For the rest of us, however, there are plenty of things we can do to protect the earth. If we all did something … we could change the world.

My family operates a freelance AutoCAD drafting service. We operate through the Internet, with clients all over the US. Since no face to face meetings are required and electronic versions of drawings, contracts, etc. are used, our business is very earth friendly.

My friends and family kept telling me to start a blog and write. One day I was talking to a neighbor about our apartment manager’s plan to begin charging residents for their water usage. That got everyone talking about how to conserve. Very quickly the same ideas came up … and I kept thinking that there has to be more we can do. So … Reduce Footprints was born. It turns out … there’s a lot more we can do.

I began this blog in July 2008 and I spend a good part of every day either writing, researching or promoting.

I have great followers … I’m very fortunate to receive between 50-100 visits a day.

No … my blog doesn’t make a cent. I’ve considered changing that but for now I’m more interested in getting the “green” message out.

Anyone who cares about the earth and the environment we live in.

Anyone who wants to save money.

Anyone who loves healthy recipes.

Anyone who wants a better world for their children and grandchildren.

Anyone who wants to be healthier.

Anyone who loves the wilderness and animals.

Everyone!

At least 5 hours a day. My family would probably say 23 hours a day.

At least three times a week I offer tips for living a greener life. These tips are easy to accomplish and are often things that we don’t even think about.

Occasionally we have guest authors who offer unique “takes” on everything “green”.

The followers of Reduce Footprints are creative people and share information.

You’ll find recipes, videos, ideas and opinions … a little of everything.

First and foremost … have good content and post it regularly. Your readers will stay with you if they can depend on reading “good stuff” on a regular basis.

Next … visit other blogs and forums and leave meaningful comments. When people like what they see, they’ll find your blog.

Be sure to include your blog address in every comment, email, etc. Make it easy for people to find your blog.
