Does anyone have any tips on how to go green?

Question

how it can affect the enviroment if 1 person goes green

Answer 1

Try my soup from leftovers. Waste not want not.

Answer 2

Spend less money.  It is as simple as that.

Everything you buy requires energy to make, ship, advertise, sell, transport home, and recycle or haul away as garbage.

Live in a climate where you don't have to heat or cool.  Most energy in a home goes to heating and cooling.

Curtail travel.  Nowadays with the internet, travel isn't really required to organize or exchange information.

The global warming crowd that flew their private jets to Bali, are just travel junkies.  How much more of an impression would they have made via video-teleconference.

But travel junkies are worse than crack cocaine addicts.

Answer 8

Each individual has whats called a carbon footprint in the environmental world. Each of us can reduce our carbon footprint and thus reduce the overall effects of global warming and other related issues.

My personal favorite tips for going green - integrate a wind, solar or geothermal energy system into your home. By using less energy from the local power grid, you are reducing the need to burn coal at your local power generation plants. Impact = massive.

Answer 9

Eat less meat, support local growers, and start a garden to produce your own food.
