Question

What does living Green mean to you?

Answer 1

naturela

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live completely, 100% “off of the grid and are completely self sufficient”

The house is built utilizing natures natural elements, in the shape of an octagon with 8ft wide arch doors on every wall to catch every angle of wind (typical 4 sided homes have half the chance as one with 8 sides. A circle being the most efficient design). Woodburning stoves, solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet.

We also built many green small cabins on the ranch that we offer to family, friends and our on-site off-grid workshop guests, including one straw bale, one papercrete, earth bag and adobe, one cob and cordwood, one underground and rammed earth, one log and post and beam and one rock. Each one actually started as a test for what the main house would be and were later finished and turned into guest cabins. I later wrote a guide on how to build with alternative materials using alternative methods for next to nothing.

We raise meat and milk goats, chickens for meat and eggs, ducks for meat and eggs, trap havilina (wild boar pig), rabbit, quail. brew our own beer from home grown products, preserve our fruits, vegetables, etc. smoke and jerky the meat, make our own soap, cheese.

There are no utility lines, no water lines, no roads, tv, cell service, etc. on our ranch. EVERYTHING needed is produced here. All electricity comes from 27 solar panels, 2 main wind gens and a back hydrogen generator if needed (typically we can last 9 days with all luxuries of sunless windless weather, hasn't happened yet). Water is caught and storaged from the rain. Hot water is made with solar batch water heaters with an on-demand hydrogen hot water heater as backup. Even our vehicles use alternative energy (2 hydrogen trucks, 1 EV electric vehicle converted). Because of this we have no bills, no debt and no mortgage.

Answer 2

Recycling and caring about the environment in every way.

Answer 3

Earth's Future (and everything that lives in it)

Answer 4

Living Green, Save the Trees, Mother Earth, and many more so called environmental groups and corporations I am very cautious of because they are political motivated for profit, power and control, over people, using commonsense as if they invented it. But often misleading people for control in government.

Answer 5

WAYS TO LIVE GREEN (for me):

*Compost

*Twirly lightbulbs

*have your own garden

*drive a prius, or dont drive at all

*conserve water

*turn off lights

Answer 6

Eating nothing but green vegetables all the time.  Not a very exciting way to live if you ask me.

Answer 7

living in the environment and recycle to make the Earth a better place.

Answer 8

living as natural as possible, or environmentally sound.

Answer 9

living enviormental friendly or for the stoners living high lol

Answer 10

recycling, reducing the amount of waste I generate and contribute to land fills (which isn't good for the economy, cause that means to reduce spending), to reduce the amount of waste in my home, and to pollute less in general.

Answer 11

Living Green, to me, means a way of living that reduces or eliminates your impact on the planet. It means changing your lifestyle to where you produce less to no waste.  It means buying/growing organic foods, recycling, donating, and so much more. Living Green means a lot to me.  I have a different outlook on life, now that I have changed my "destructive" ways.

Answer 12

In the main it is being conned by misguided people who are taking the "moral high ground " but are actually being conned by local and national governments hand in hand with vested industries.

MOST local government "green and recycling strategies" are based on false premises and misinformation THEY JUST KEEP ANOTHER layer of bureaucracy in a job.

The figure are manipulated if not actually falsified to benefit

those who are making a living from it.

Nationally, we are a TINY country and have a minuscule effect on global warming etc compared to the USA ,CHINA,

INDIA, and ASIA plus most of  the old soviet block ... non of these countries do any thing to prevent global warming or waste.

ANOTHER case of the Emperors Suit of clothes syndrome

where every one knows it is wrong but does not want to speak out against the mislead majority,or more often the most voriferous minoritory

In short : ITS ALL A CONN

Answer 13

Accepting and effecting all the guidelines for conducting one's life and career in such a way as to improve our total environment.
