Answer 2

Not Green enough.   I try to do as much as I can as far as energy usage.   I have changed lights.  I have changer cars to use less fuel and less co2.   I have changed how I heat the house.   I recycle as much as possible. Changed to energy efficient appliances.  I keep thinking for better ways to save energy.    

The Biggest change I have made is how I think.   Number one is not how I can save money.    

My number one reason is to to help save our home, EARTH.  

When you start thinking like that you look deeper into everything.

Answer 3

I would definatley use green energy - I'm considering solar panels for my house, and would do wind generation if my municipality would allow it!!

I even challenged my utility regarding green energy and got NO response..........some people will have to be forced to change.  See my website.........

Answer 4

For an American, I do two of the most important things one could do.

1. I do not have (and will not have) children. Nothing else comes close to this one because for every child we create, we double the amount of destruction we cause on this planet. Never regret the kids you have, but please, if you want more - adopt.

2. I'm vegetarian, therefore I use about 1/10th of the total energy used in producing food that the average American uses.

Other than that, I'm pretty normal. I drive a vehicle of average fuel efficiency, for the average amount of miles. I live in an average house, yada, yada, yada.

As for green energy, the maximum I can buy in my area is 20% (wind power), and I do.

Answer 5

I have a unit that charges my laundry water with oxygen and silver. It keeps me from having to buy detergent. Going on 2 years now and my clothes are just as clean as if I used detergent. Think about how many tons of detrgent laden water is dumped into our rivers and streams everyday.

Answer 6

I use green light bulbs only. Switched my old outboard engines on my boats to 4 strokes & E-Tec's. Replaced my applainces with highest star ratings . Have two low fuel use car & mini van instead of gas guzzeling trucks. Switched my commercial fishing gear to eco-friendly gear.The list goes on. Plus its all a tax write off too. I'll save $ in the long run.***Hey Mit** I'm a comm.fisherman what else you want me to do,donate my left nut?
