i'm studying environmental studies at school...i thought i'd start a thread about discussing ways in which you contribute positively to the environment...a crisis which is extrememly important to me,, as it should be to everybody.

i found these videos on youtube for promoting energy efficiency. its cool a company like Toyota is spreadin the message...

I recycle.

I recycle - it is mandatory in my town.

I compost yard debris, reuse plastic shopping bags for trash, combine trips to the store, especially coming home from work. I keep my thermostat at 69 degrees during the day and 65 at night.

I wish that the automobile makers would make more hybrids at a lower cost. I just bought a new Honda CR-V and I was looking at hybrids but they cost so much more. The CR-V at least gets 25 mpg.

-I recycle and I helped start a recycling program at my HS.
-I reuse bags for garbage, i need to get cloth ones though.
-I walk as much as I can instead of driving and Ive used the city bus at times.
-90% of the light bulbs in my house are CFL's although a recent news report shows that there is mercury inside of those, and if they break they are a big hazard, so I may hold off on replacing the rest.
-I only turn on the AC when the temp goes over 85, and heat when the temp goes below 40.
-I have a CO2 saver on my computer
-I wish I could do more....
