How can I become a more enviromental-friendly person?

Question

I want to go green, but I need help getting started.

Answer 1

You can start small and build. It's not an easy process. But I decided that I would work on changing something in my home each week. The first thing I did was convert my house cleaning products to a eco-friendlier line of products. If you have kids that is a great place to start. Next I changed the product my family used ie, toothpaste, plastic cups, soap, etc...

Answer 2

there are plenty of things you can do:

don't leave the water running when you brush your teeth

hand wash dishes: soap them up then rinse, don't let the water run.

turn off the lights when your done in a room

use economy lights to conserve on energy

recycle your plastic bottles, and tin cans

use paper bags, and not plastic

get rid of your gas guzzling car, and get a hybrid or electric car when they come out more.

use environmentally friendly products like environmentally friendly detergents (there should be a label on it)

you get the idea.........

Answer 3

Answer 6

Start with the little things:

-Recycle all you can and get your friends/ family to do the same.

-Use a clothes line instead of the dryer.

-Hand wash the dishes instead of using the dish-washer.

-Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

-Walk or bike as much as you can instead of driving.

-Use re-usable bags instead of plastics bags.

-Use your own mug instead of taking a new Styrofoam cup every time.

-Turn down the heat by 2C in the Winter and 2C more when you're not home or at night.

-Use a fan instead of A/C if you can.

I think these are pretty basic things that are fairly easy to do and don't cost you anything. If anything, you'll end up saving money.

Hope it helps!
