Answer 3

Yes, we compost all our food scraps.  We use recyclable bags at the grocery store.  We've got most of our bulbs changed over.  The biggest thing we did almost 14 years ago is get rid of toxins in our home by switching to toxic-free  household products.  We breathe much easier since we switched.  You can check this website:  www.thewhycircle.com/alice.

Nobody's doing anything to actually help, only a few feel good things, but I am sure as heck not changing my entire lifestyle to "save the world".

Answer 6

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live completely, 100% “off of the grid and are completely self sufficient”

The house is built utilizing natures natural elements, in the shape of an octagon with 8ft wide arch doors on every wall to catch every angle of wind (typical 4 sided homes have half the chance as one with 8 sides. A circle being the most efficient design). Woodburning stoves, solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet.

We also built many green small cabins on the ranch that we offer to family, friends and our on-site off-grid workshop guests, including one straw bale, one papercrete, earth bag and adobe, one cob and cordwood, one underground and rammed earth, one log and post and beam and one rock. Each one actually started as a test for what the main house would be and were later finished and turned into guest cabins. I later wrote a guide on how to build with alternative materials using alternative methods for next to nothing.

We raise meat and milk goats, chickens for meat and eggs, ducks for meat and eggs, trap havilina (wild boar pig), rabbit, quail. brew our own beer from home grown products, preserve our fruits, vegetables, etc. smoke and jerky the meat, make our own soap, cheese.

There are no utility lines, no water lines, no roads, tv, cell service, etc. on our ranch. EVERYTHING needed is produced here. All electricity comes from 27 solar panels, 2 main wind gens and a back hydrogen generator if needed (typically we can last 9 days with all luxuries of sunless windless weather, hasn't happened yet). Water is caught and storaged from the rain. Hot water is made with solar batch water heaters with an on-demand hydrogen hot water heater as backup. solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet. Even our vehicles use alternative energy (2 hydrogen trucks, 1 EV electric vehicle converted). Because of this we have no bills, no debt and no mortgage.

I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

my home has all the comforts listed above plus some. we live very comfortable without effecting the environment. just saying that tol et you know it's possible. you may not want to go as extreme as me and my family but anywhere in between is something.

Without getting to in depth here, Using alternative fuels in your vehicles and harnessing your own electricity from the sun, water, earth and wind are the 2 are key elements in making a green transition and erasing your carbon footprint.

here's a calculator to find out how much of a green impact your making (carbon footprint)

if you'd like to make your next step feel free to contact me personally at www agua-luna com

I've been installing home made Solar panels. Solar stoves, Solar batch and inline hot water heaters. Solar radiant heating. Solar home heating and AC, along with home made wind gens and other alternative energy items for the last 3 years.

You can even make the above projects on site with simple parts from the local hardware stores or auto stores or junk yards. For more info check out some guides I wrote / compiled on how to DIY www agua-luna com

Again these projects can be accomplished anywhere by anyone.

if you absolutely can't do anything in your home at least you can put alternative fuels in your car. most major automotive manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors, etc) recommend the use of bio fuels, and nearly every car manufacturer in the world approves ethanol blends in their warranty coverage.

In fact your probably even driving an ethanol car and didn't even know it.

The trick is finding fuel.

I've been producing biofuel for about 3 years now, it's not extremely difficult. Basically you need general household ingredients, a processor (or still for ethanol) and some used oil. Blend it, let separate, screen and use. I complied a guide a while back to help walk you threw the process step by step, just email me or check out..

as for recyling the best way i've found without taking money from your won pocket is to join a free freecycle group in your area or visit the habitat for humanity.

If you’d like help in making your self sufficient steps, feel free to contact me directly. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at www agua-luna com

on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others “help the environment”.

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

Stop Global Warming,

Answer 7

I have been a deep shade of green for forty years, almost as long as we have known about global warming. What amazes me is that people are only now starting to go green. Ignorance is a curse; one which may very well destroy our envinronment.

Answer 8

I have young children. I actually switched a lot of my habits to keep them safer in everyday life.

I use greener cleaning supplies, greener soaps and shampoo's,  I take a reusable tote to the store, I even bought a smaller more fuel efficient car...and have started many other green habits. The funny thing is that I didn't do it to save the earth, that's a bonus... I did it because I wanted a household that is less toxic and less cluttered (plastic bags and things like that tend to take up space) and to save money.

Answer 9

Absolutely! I am going green! I have the good lightbulbs, recycle and use reusable shopping bags. I am trying to do more though.

Answer 10

I like how you asked about "going green" and you get responses about global warming. You didn't mention global warming, you didn't talk about carbon footprints, you just asked about going green. Or, to put it in less pop cultural terms, living more sustainably.

Yes. I am.

Answer 11

yes i recycle a ton and i walk 2 school

Answer 12

I've been going pretty green. I take my own bags to the grocery store, I take only 3 minute showers( and I used to take 30 minute showers), I bought new light bulbs for the entire house, and in my house we have a 2 hour's of no electricity each day. Although this is just not enough, I hope other people will take steps to create a greener world.

Answer 13

I am gradually going green:-

Food scraps on the compost heap.

Recycle, newspapers, some plastics, glass, tin cans.

Use my own bags and not the plastic supermarket ones.

Walk whenever I can to save petrol in the car.

Answer 14

the earth does not need us to save it and it doesn't need me to go green.

i have always been respectful of our earth and lived respectfully, but i don't need to go green or buy  into the nonesense of global warming....

Answer 15

yes. im a tourism graduate. i love nature very much! as my little contribution to our nature what i did is discipline myself. such as i never throw garbage or even a small piece of candy wrapper anywhere on the streets. I am Pro recycle

.I hate people especially adults who just throw garbage anywhere.i hope they can discipline there own child so do i also when im going to settle down. we must learn how to take care of our nature. we have to remember that "Nature can live without us but Human cant live without nature" So we must conserve our nature by being PRO- earth/ green peace.

Answer 16

its good to recycle every once in a while

Answer 17

I recycle, all my house lights are Florence light bulbs, I ride my bicycle  to work, Try to make less trash.

Answer 18

recycle

there are lots of stuff that are completely normal, but green
