This whole thing to save our planet is really to the extreme. We as individuals has done this to our own planet, but with the help of all the manufactures as well. First it started with the throw away items that manufactures thought was more convenient and we thought so too because thats all we buy nowadays. Throw away this, throw away that. What happened to recycling your drink bottles for a refund? 5 & 10 cent refunds on glass bottles. Then come the to-go boxes..Use to be light card board whick could go in the garbag or you could burn them...Now everything is sytrafoam..Never degrades. Takes years and stuck in the landfills along with throw away diapers, milk containers, and everything else...Again never degrades for years to come...The manufactures won big time and we bought right into it. Now here we are on this planet with over filled land filles and crap pouring out into the land and waters all round us....This problem is everyone's problem...We have waited to long to try and fix this...We will clean up a little here and there. But it really is too late to save very much. And now our grand children will suffer because we as Americans was in the throw away society. We all were and if you say you didn't, then you are a liar. You have thrown something away, sometime..How bout a papertowel. When I grew up, there was o such thing. We had hand and dish towels that was placed in the laundry when dirty. You ever see that anymore.??? There are a million ways we are all guilty of this horriable thing we have done to our planet. And now, here we are, scrambling to find a way to save the good in out planet, or what's left of it...It's a sad time for all.....

To educate myself in how I impact the planet and change my use of products and the waste I accumulate. Limiting my driving and cutting down on water use and waste of water. Buying local produce and healthy foods for myself and the earth.

By expanding the amount of produce that I personally grow in my city lot. By not using any chemicals in my home or property in general. By replacing all plastic in my home with glass. I have been working on these items for quite a few years already and my grocery bill is very small because I can, freeze, or store suitable vegetables for use through the winter. It is frustrating how readily people accept gifts of vegetables from me but make no effort to improve their own health or the health of the world by doing this themselves. We must all start taking responsibility for ourselves. Advertisers have surely duped us all into thinking that they can do everything for us. However, they really don't care much about what they sell - the safety, the quality. What a very sad state of our world. Plant something, sew your clothes, mend your clothing, maintain your shoes - I have shoes in my closet from the 70's and people always take notice - "Wow, where did you buy those shoes?" When I tell them how old they are they think I'm joking. It's time we all act like adults and contribute to our world instead of using it up day in and day out. |

eat local food, walk, bike or bus, less flying, green electricity - convince others to do the same!

I plan on reducing my consumption of the paper towels I use by using cloth or a biodegradable towelette instead. I'm starting to make my own cleaners; which are quite effective, and package my "family pack" meats in Tupperware/Ziplock containers instead of plastic bags. The containers last much longer.

I've cut back on plastic and paper products and convenience foods. I plan on trying to convince others to do the same. I walk to work.

Trying to consume only what is necesary, buying local, and seasonal food; direct from the producer if possible, recycling. Ussing less the car, waking, using bike and public transport, more.
