What are some ways you are %26quot;living green%26quot;? I turn off the lights when I leave a room, and if it%26#039;s a sunny day I use the natural light instead of my lights.
I have my TV on for only a few hours, like 3 at the most. Same with my laptop.
I don%26#039;t drive too much, just to and from school.
I reuse my plastic grocery bags.
Annnd...that%26#039;s about it, I think. I%26#039;m not sure if what I%26#039;m doing there will %26quot;save the world%26quot;, but if the world does end or whatever, I%26#039;ll know that I attempted to save it :}.

Holy cow you guys are doing a lot! I actually do a lot of the same things you do...shorter showers, turning water off while brushing teeth, gardening, etc. All of these answers are awesome and I will have a hard time choosing just one!

Take a shower with a bucket at your feet.... use the water on your outside plants.....

I have an average size home in Kinakin, Ifugao that is 100% run by wind turbines. This means my electricity is powered by the wind. I have been doing this for almost five years and I acquired my wind turbines from the US but every dollar spent was worth it. Now I have a home that is free of fossil fuels use. I cook my food with a solar powered oven and griller as well.

We recently designed our own wind turbines using local materials and the results are amazing. I am willing to share schematic diagrams to anyone interested in owning a turbine at no cost. All i ask for in return is that you share the technology with others who need it most. For more information check our website at www.ecsmorganbennett.com/green.html

We recycle plastics #1 and #2, aluminum, paper, newspapers, cardboard, and grocery bags back to the store. We also use the energy efficient bulbs, natural sunlight when its possible, we don%26#039;t leave lights or fans in when we are not in the room. We also switched to using the company Seventh Generation%26#039;s products which are dye and perfume free, and they make products which are less harmful the environment, i love them. We also use laundry soap that has biodegradeable agents and made from plant products. I had no idea before that we used laundry soap that was bad for the water systems. We also donate all goods to charities, we never throw anything away that could be used by someone else or we ebay it! We also unplug anything that won%26#039;t be used for long times like laptops, our internet routing systems, credit card terminals, etc. When we go away on vacation, then we unplug everything pretty much. We are working on getting green hosting for our company. We love taking care of God%26#039;s Green Earth so it can stay that way. Oh, and we also eat alot of organic and natural foods
