If you want to live green just live like the???

Question

Amish? By the way for all the industrialists on here humanity existed before petroleum was ever being used.

Answer 1

Point well taken. There are no completely renewable energies. We can only substitute one fuel for another. Since I take in too many calories, the only fuel that is in excess is that which I produce.

I am not Amish and I live 500 miles from my mother, I like to drive down and see her now and then. I have lights on right now, and obviously my computer is running. I admit to being a user of fossil fuels, but I try to remember that it is my choice to use them, and my choice is to use them sparingly.

Why is "green" and fighting global warning suddenly so popular? I don't see anyone doing anything that I haven't been working at since the 70s.  

Answer 2

It is true that the Amish have lived a clean and sustainable lifestyle forever. I do think you can live a modern life and do much less damage to the earth. You can live a sustainable lifestyle and still have a/c. I think too many people think they have to give up too much to be earth friendly. I disagree, I live in a typical suburban home with a pool, but 95% of my energy is renewable, more than 75% of my food is organic and local, I consume less, I waste less and I have very few toxins in my life. It is healthier for my family and the planet.
