Green Living

I find myself spending less money. There are so many dust collectors and yardsale items that it makes me think before purchasing anything.

Do you consider the price, amount in the container, country of origin, or just grab and don't care?

I will not buy produce that is not grown in the United States.
Our pesticide rates are stricter.

When you're out and about going for a walk, walking from your car to a store, at the park, etc. do you pick up trash that you see on the floor? Why or why not?

Do you only pick it up if there's a trash can near by? Only if it looks "clean." Only if you're in a beautiful nature preserve?

What does it take for you to pick up trash or litter?

Hello All,

Sorry, for the double post. Initially I posted to a wrong category.

I'm Austin, Texas. Planning to purchase a new home. Wondering what best energy efficient features I should asked the builder.

Have you done anything yourself? Economical?
What should I target mainly?
Solar? Ventilation?
Windows are huge in family room with high ceiling. What windows should I go for to protect myself in Texas heat?

One of the builder was saying they added 'Tech Shield radium sheet' to the roof and says it reflects light, and saves electric bill. Are those effective?

Any rebates or incentives goverment offer?

Thanks!

I mean, you are technically littering, but the ice cubes will eventually melt and disappear.. It's as if you've never littered anything at all after a while..

Just curious..

:p

For the rest of this week, I would like everyone to be consciously aware everytime they go shopping to try to reduce plastic bag usage. For small items, put them in your purse or pocket. Shopping at more than one store, put the items in one bag only. For the real enthusiastics, bring your own bag. Everyone respond with how many bags you saved from waste this week. It all adds up.

I heard the new energy saving lightbulbs contain a small amount of mercury. If broken what is the risk to your house? I also heard (unable to verify) that a homeowner dropped a quantity of them on the floor and had to pay $2,000-$3,000
for decontamination. I'd like to use them but I'm a little wary

It must be able to hold a beaker of water in it. And the cheaper, the better.

I just want to say:

"DON'T GIVE UP because you ARE loved..."

(& if you've got a few minutes to spare, a PC & limewire, download Josh Groban's song by that title, cos it may cheer you up a bit... it sounds better after a few listens to.

Oh, I know this isn't a question! OK. How's this? How are your ideas to help the environment taking shape?

...and thus the amount of pollutants we emit?
Should we just be happy to sit back and let nature find its own solution - which it most certainly will - and take it for granted that human-kind will still be around to play a part in that future? Isn't it just our conditioning to 'convenience foods' and 'labour-saving' devices that lead us to accept an easy way out of the dilemma by believing (or hoping) that the forecasts for climate change are just scaremongering? Would it really 'hurt' us to cut back on waste or save money on energy bills?
Is it so bad to walk more or cycle? Don't we owe it to future generations to allow them a future! We don't Own thnis earth - we just hold it in trust for our children

Do I have to take them to a recycling plant or can I put them in the regular bins? Are they worth anything?

After all this talk lately I was curious so I got an estimate for my house and the price was (brace yourself)

$108,000!!!!

That is for a 1800sqft home with 100amp service (12KW).

No wonder all those coal plants exist. Now I know why those P--B.S. shows don't mention the costs of going green.

The Clubs are open 6 days a week. there are about 10 bottle fridges per club. They would switch off at about 4am and switch back on about 2pm to chill down for a 5pm opening. Is it better to have them warming up and chilling down or maintaining a constant temperature.

I know there are studies on converting farm waste to methane to electricity. What about my septic tank? Is there a way I can generate electricity as a biproduct of the processes there? Any reference to published studies would be welcomed!

Most cities in India have extreme temperatures where Energy saving eco-friendly concepts as rediscovered by Laurie Baker are best suited yet there seem no takers??
In fact the Governments should offer subsidy to encourage this construction technology.
