Green Living

I'm thinking of starting to separate trash into paper-plastic-glass -trash. I'm concerned about smells from containers..and also not sure how to best organize them. Should I use 4 plastic bags or 4 open boxes...


How do you do it, so that nothing smells and it's also fast to dispose of stuff?

Please, just answer this if you really KNOW :) For a country that has sun, wind and geothermal areas, and lots of it all, in which order should these resources be used as energy sources, considering cost of production, land use and amount of energy production

Also, do you think that dimmed lights spend less energy than lightbulbs at full capacity (the brightest)

What uses less energy - Swapping out all of your lightbulbs at once and replacing them with CFLs (and throwing out all of the old energy guzzling lightbulbs that still work in the process) OR using the old energy guzzling bulbs until they burn out and replacing them with CFLs 1 by 1?

recognizing that the entire planet is affected by what we do in our back yards, it's more important than ever to act 'wisely' on an individual level.

what environmental philosophies or plans of action allow us to act wisely, taking into account our local needs and resources? and why is it so important for each of us to do this on a strictly 'local' (not global) level?

With all that talk about conserving energy, and going green.

Would people give up comfort for less?

Is it too late to make changes?

to prevent global warming or protect the environment? These people live lifestyles of waste that the average person only dreams about but they have the gall to say we should "only use one square of toliet paper" or "not eat tangerines" or "should take public transportation, walk, or ride bicycles". Would the message seem a lot more meaningful if the person saying it was actually living the way they expect us to live such as an Amish or Mennonite person?

has anyone here read the green book?

it tells you all about different products and teaches you how to live without them adn what substitutes are good for them like organic things or just different things to buy and use.

i dont have it but last time i went to the book store i read like half of it and if anyone here wants to ñearn about that sort of thing its really a great book to try!

if you do look for it its pretty easy to find its a small bright green book called "the green book" and its authors are foamous celebrities as well so you learn what they have to say to!

bring us to a better world and live in green!

:) peace.

I already:

1. Drive a car with a V8 engine
2. Have my thermostat set on a comfy 78 degrees 24/7.
3. Use all the TP I need to get it done down there.
4. Eat nonorganic foods.
5. Consume paper and/or plastic bags after trips to grocery and other stores.
6. Wear clothes made in far away lands by "exploited" workers who are grateful for the work.

Any other ideas for me? Thanks in advance.

Out back we have a large track of land couple hundred acres, we intend to sell the standing timber to the sawmill, but then you have all the scrub left. Is it more efficient to just burn the whole mess, or use a petroleum based herbicide to get rid of the underbrush first before we burn, so we can plant the grass with the best results.?

By going to this website and punching in an address, you can determine your "walk score". Essentially it is a ranking of your homes proximity to goods and services like food, schools, parks, and so forth. Mine was depressingly low.

Newton's first law is energy cannot be created or destroyed, Chemistry tells us a making or breaking a molecule takes the same energy. If the net difference is zero then things cannot be powered and all energy that is created by this methods goes when you try and create more. Why is this considered a suitable method in theory?
