Eco friendly habits?

Question

In your opinion, list the top 3 things YOU think are the best way to be eco friendly. Best one gets 5 stars :-D

Answer 1

1. Don't reproduce. There are two many people already, using up the natural resrouces too quickly. If you want kids, adopt!

2. Eat less meat, or better still, none at all. Modern meat production practices are appalingly bad for the environment.

3. Think very carefully before you buy something (Do I really need this?) and throw something away (Can this be used for some other purpose or by somebody else?)

Hope that helps! :)

Answer 2

Have a clean habit. have tree around u and teach ur child  that tree is must on ur garden.

Answer 3

pee on trees

Answer 4

1) stop using vehicles. Bike EVERYWHERE.

2) Don't use laundry machines, dryers, washing machines, ovens, lights unless you ABSOLUTELY have to

3) STOP EATING BEEF. The methane from cow burps/farts is seriously damaging the atmosphere. Although less of it is in the atmosphere than carbon emissions it has a stronger effect. Did you know there are more domestic cows than people on the planet?

Answer 5

2:stop flying airplanes if its not really necessary

3:think on what u buy all the time in the beginning it can be hard but pretty fast its being easy and then u know what u can choose in the shops(food and things with poisons)

Answer 6

1. Buy less.  Use Freecycle.org to save space in landfills, get things you need, and give away things you don't.

2. Use less: use less water (in toilets, showers, when brushing teeth, etc.). Collect rainwater to water plants.

3. Only do wash when you have a full load, and do it all in one day while the dryer is still hot.  Don't use the fabric softener sheets; get one of those reusable spiked ball sets that help clothes dry faster. Better yet, air dry outside or in the house, hung up on shower rod.

Answer 7

1. recycle aluminium cans, tin cans, plastic, and glass as much as you can.

2. use environmentally friendly vehicles, bike or walk if possible, or use public transport to stop gas emissions.

3. Plant at least 3 trees a year. If everyone did that the earth would be a more Eco-friendly place to live.

4.As an extra, turn off lights when they are needed - and don't have you're lamp on, turn on the main light and leave the lamp on. That's just silly!!!

Also not everyone can do this but - my dad connected bendy plastic pipes to the washing machine, dryer and bath and let it all run onto the grass!!!

My girlfriend and I shower together to save water.  It's green and its fun!!! (I know thats only one thing but it's the best one)

Besides recycling the plastic containers, you can improve your work or home environments by bringing live potted plants indoors.

Major items needed:

One empty plastic gallon container.   Tree Top Apple Juice is preferred, or equal in shape.

One empty plastic ½ gallon container.  Langers All Pomergranate Juice is preferred or equal.

Directions:  Lay the plastic gallon container on its side so the front label is facing up.  Place the empty plastic half gallon container on the label and with a sharpie pen outline the bottom on the Tree Top label and with a sharp knife carefully cut the outline.  Insert the half gallon into the hole until it rest on the back label of the gallon container.  Then mark and cut approximately one inch above the cut on the ½ gallon  to complete your planter container.  Remove and drill several ¼ inch holes on the bottom of the ½ gallon cut container for drainage.

Fill the cut ½ gallon planter with one inch of gravel before putting in good potting mix soil and live growing plant.  If you make two or more you can pour the water back and forth and not waste the water with the nutrients.
