What are you doing to help the environment?

Question

With everyone going Green lately, what are you doing to help with global warming.

Answer 1

I live and breath reduce reuse and recycle. I suppose you could say this is my religion. My goal is to put nothing in my black bin. I take my glass bottles to recycle, i compost, i reuse tubs, i have an allotment, i use freecycle (please ask), i encourage others to do the same and i do not shut up ever about the environment, whether or not it is too late or not.... i WILL NOT make it worse. If only we all did the same- what a difference we could well make. Sorry about the lecture guys!!!!!!

Answer 2

i use the car as much as i can. i spray random bottles of hairspray out my door so that "global warming" can actually happen cuz its so god damn cold i cant see why stupid enviriomentalists and liberals are saying we are the cause of global warming. give me a break people. i had to watch that dreadful movie with Al gore the egg head in school and i think i fell asleep. i think there is no physical and possible way that humans are causing global warming. we are effing ants on this planet, maybe even smaller than ants. we are so insignifagent(sp?) on this planet its not even funny.i think the earth is just warming because of its cycles. i mean are you people THAT blind that you cant look back a few thousand years and see what our earths temperatures were? we went from ice age to ice age and our planet heated up and it kept happining like a cycle. what you dont ****** think its gunna happin again? why are you enviromentalists and liberals so up and arms about this situation. this is not new news.

Answer 8

Doing what I've always done. Recycle when appropriate and drive where I want to.

Answer 9

I recycle as much as I can and try to encourage others. If they don't, I take what I can home to recycle. I try to conserve water and electricity. And I try to plan errands so I don't have to drive as much.

Answer 10

Have a look at the following world bank honored project U-SEE and be a part of the brigade to preserve environment.
U-SEE - We must save the world from over-exploitation of natural resources
Knowingly or unknowingly we are all partners in misusing of costly electricity for our lighting purpose during day time when the solar light is available just outside our windows. Why can't bring home the sunshine?
Yes. This has been successfully adopted by a number of people in Bangalore, India. This innovative but simple method of bringing home the sunshine was suggested to the World Bank as a Grassroots Initiative for Preservation of Natural Resourcs during IDM-2007 competition - Project U-SEE (Unlimited Savings of Electrical Energy). U-SEE does not involve any nano technology nor does it requires billions of dollars for implementation. Moreover, U-SEE you get free lighting for life. No charges.
The World Bank honored this initiative and has created a permanent blog on the World Bank URL at http://dmblog.worldbank.org/mirrors-can-bring-light-rural-homes.
How is it implemented? U need a house hold mirror of 12"X18" and a pillow. Identify where u can get maximum sunshine just outside the windows with clear glass or on the balcony, keep the pillow on a stool or chair and place the mirror on the pillow, go on nudging the mirror till the solar light is deflected from the mirror, through the window and on to the white ceiling inside your home. U will be surprised to find the light spreading from the ceiling - it can be 40 to 60 watts (see the picture above - notice tube light and table lamp in the corner are not burning but there is enough light). If u can keep a bigger mirror, u will get more bright light. U can control the light just by covering a portion of the mirror.
Earth moves on its latitude. When u find that the deflected solar light is moving elsewhere, just go to the mirror, nudge a little and u can get back your light as before. THIS IS THE BASIC IDEA and once u have done it, u be the Innovator of your light requirements for your home and U-SEE PROVIDES YOU FREE LIGHTING FOR LIFE. Many homes/huts in rural areas in developing countries do not have proper lighting and people are living in dark, damp and dingy environs but urbanites living in concrete jungles in cities with tinted glasses are misusing electricity for their lighting purpose even during day time.
U-SEE the Benefits: ONE incandescent bulb/tubelight burning for 6 hours during day time consumes 7 units of electricity in a month. If half the world can adopt U-SEE and switch off one bulb for 6 hours during day time, how much of electricity can be saved? Your guess is as good as mine + saves cost of fossil fuels, coal, water+saves cost incurred for machineries and equipments+saves overhead charges+saves transmission loss charges+saves the world from global warming (burning bulbs/CO2 etc) with n'th value+ U GET FREE LIGHTING FOR LIFE with n'th value. The savings that accrue can off set the load on our productive requirements like A/c, refrigerators, mixies, fans etc.
Solar light will be available at least for about 200 days in a year and it is infinite and why should we let it go waste? We are not harnessing this infinite energy. U-SEE is ssoo simple.
First adopt this method, innovate solutions if u face small problems. U be the winner. U-SEE It is a win win situation for all of us. Need clarifications, mail: [e-mail] U-SEE - The author's ambition is to spread this friendly initiative to one and all. No charges!!
