I saw these cute girls walking around and just really wanted to know what they thought about living green. They were very friendly and answered all my questions. Here’s how it went:

PPnG: What are your names and how old are you?

Girls: (From right to left) I’m Abby and I’m 22, I’m Leigh and I’m 22, I’m Paige and I’m 22.

PPnG: Abby, what do you do for a living?

Abby: I am an assistant at an investment firm.

PPnG: What are your thoughts on green living and how do you practice it?

Abby: I’m big on being resourceful. I just moved here and am always looking for stuff for my apartment on the streets, for example, that my roommates and I can re-use to decorate with.

PPnG: Leigh, what do you think about the whole green thing that’s happening around the world?

Leigh: I personally am a big fan. I think that it’s a really good thing. At my house we do a compost pile and sometimes it’s really disgusting but we do them anyway. We recycle a lot and my biggest pet peeve is when people leave the lights on in a room that’s empty. I hate that and my roommate at school does that all the time and I can’t stand it. And she always says I’m a crazy electricity saver.

PPnG: Paige, what do you for a living?

Paige: I’m an administrative assistant at a real estate commercial office.

PPnG: What do you think about living green?

Paige: I think it’s really important and awesome. I just moved back to Portland after going to school in Arkansas for four years and I was frustrated with the lack of recycling programs there. It’s really refreshing and nice to be back in Portland. The building I work in now, for example, just implemented a recycling program that cuts waste by 90%.

PPnG: What’s your favorite green thing to do?

Paige: I drive my car only once a week and usually bike to work. I also take the Max everywhere and walk.

Awesome girls. Thank-you for contributing to Green Streets.
