a general summing up of environmental positive behaviour

global warming cannot be stopped but we can stop helping it becoming faster,and being friendlier to out Environment cannot be bad

if you do any cleaning up leave signs behind saying who cleaned,why and ask people not to start dumping rubbish again ,leave a hole or bins ,in case people come with trash ,

we have done a lot of comunity cleaning and if you dont leave alternatives or try to work on peoples guilt feelings (some people actually have those ,but not many)

than your efforts are a waste of time.

Answer 5

well it sounds like you want to be more eco friendly, so why not recycle too?  It's not too time consuming and some states even pay you for your cans and bottles!  Carbon though...hmmm... well how bout car pooling when you can?  Maybe you have similar work schedules?
