What are you doing to keep the planet green?
I am not a tree hugger or activist. I am concerned about where the planet is heading and what we are going to leave for the people that follow us.
I know that simple things done by many are more productive than many complicated things done by one person are.
I have gone ahead and really stepped up my 'greening' and have seen some positive things come out of my efforts.
------
I get two regular waste cans, one recycle can and one green/veggie trash can to put out for the weekly garbage pickup.
I have a compost heap that has reduced my 'Green Waste" output to less than one can a month. It's so good I already have plants growing out of the pile!
I have my steel "compost bowl" in the kitchen that I fill with the stuff that I have left over from cooking-no meat products! - and it's making me walk to the back yard and has opened my eyes to some of the projects I can start. I look at the place where I can grow some veggies and trees that need to be pruned so I can build the comnpost pile up!
My waste can output has gone from 2 - 60 gallon cans to 1 per week and my
Blue recycle can has threatened to pull my groin muscles!
All aluminum and plastics are taken to the recycle center and traded in for cash!
I flatten all my cardboard and try to rinse out all the food cans.
--------------
I have changed to some flourescent lights-the output sucks on them and I still need a regular bulb to read by!
It's not a whole bunch that I have done but I was wondering what are some of the things that you have done to try and go green?
Hybrid cars don't count-that's not working to clean things up. Driving is not work!
