Why is everyone all of the sudden "green"?

In hopes of documenting my families life as people who like to live as close to the earth as possible, I have created my blog " By Natural Means". This is my spin on the other cliche terms "by all means", or "by any means", in which anything goes. For me, only natural goes because you can almost always find something harmful or counter productive in products and processes of life that are not natural. Our first step in the journey of living "green" happened while we were debating what methods of birth control we would use when we first got married. After a lot of research we found that the pill contains hormones that have a violent affect on women's bodies, and can lead to some nasty consequences. And so choosing NFP (natural family planning) was the beginning of our lives as individuals in pursuit of a more holistic lifestyle. Five years and four kids later, we still choose more natural means of living, and I hope to share my story of what it's like.
