I use it and love it.

Answer 2

Replace the one(s) light you use the most with a LED bulb.  If you use it 5 hours a day it will last over 50 years.  I know the cost is $50 each, so one at a time.

Answer 3

Like other people have said, flourecent light bulbs and tote bags.  If you plan on getting a car any time soon, look into hybrids or even electrics.  Also, meat is horrible for the environment, so when ever you can, eat veggies.  An example is a package of lettuce takes about 6 gallons of water to grow.  A single serving of beef takes 2,200 gallons!!!

Answer 5

Check out this great site: www.greenfeet.com. They have many unique and everyday items which are environmentally correct.

A good toilet paper brand that you can find in the average grocery store is Marcal. They use 100% recycled content to make their toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, napkins etc. They do not use chlorine bleach to make their products. Never buy brands that do not say that they are recycled. seventh generation and Green Forest are also good brands. Kleenex is the worst- they use virgin trees from old growth forest to use tissues that we blow our noses with and throw away! What a waste!

When buying copy paper, look for 50- 100% post-consumer recycled content paper.  They have this at Staples and should have it at most other stores. If they don't ask them to carry it. Ask administrators at your school or workplace to use recycled paper. When choosing paper, choose the highest amount of post-consumer recycled content available. Post consumer comes from the paper we recycle, and pre-consumer comes from factory floor sweepings, which they have always recycled. Some people still think that recycled paper is inferior, but this is a 15 year old notion that is outdated. Technology has improved recycled products!

Also, while you are at staples, bring your old computer, printer, fax, monitor etc. to be recycled. They will charge $10 per large item and you can throw in smaller things (mice, keyboard, speakers) for free. They recycle responsibly - nothing ends up overseas getting taken apart by unskilled and unprotected workers.

Oh and you must recycle compact fluorescent light bulbs (the new spiral energy saving ones)  when they burn out! Do not throw them in the trash. They contain a small amount of mercury vapor that should not be released into the environment (they will break during trash transportation, etc.) Contact your local Department of Public Works or recycling center for instructions on how to dispose of these; never put them in the trash or recycling bin.

Answer 6

You could save some energy by buying the new kind of light bulbs.  They really do last a lot longer!  I'm not sure if they can be brighter- but you get used to it.  Also, to save more energy, when you're not using something, just unplug it.  I've been doing that a lot- Especially to the computer- we unplug it every night because it takes so much electricity to run.  If you want to be very good- instead of using up all those plastic bags when you go grocery shopping, you can take your own!  Just get some canvas bags and then you can use them every time you go to the store.  I actually made my own lunch bag (out of canvas) and use it everyday- I started feeling really bad by using up all of those lunch bags everyday- so I finally made my own and I've gotten lots of compliments on it, and I tell them I made it! :)  It makes me feel better that I am helping the planet and look good doing it.  Just try to recycle and be cautious of what you use and how often you're using it.  Good luck!  It's fun to go green :)

Answer 7

Get a nice messenger bag, every time you go to a store, you won't need a plastic bag.

When you buy lunch, look what it comes in. Styrofoam or aluminum is pretty bad. Try to get something in a simple paper or cardboard package. Same with drinks. Look if your package is at least recyclable (#1+2 plastic).

Don't buy plastic party dishes, cups and utensils.

If you have a backyard, start a compost.

Make it a habit to separate garbage for recycling. In doubt, get instructions from your nearest recycling center.
