How environmentally aware are you in your life?

Mixed bag here.
I only recycle all that i do because the city makes it nearly a crime if I do not. I do however recycle aluminum, glass, and certain plastics on my own and do not use the city for it. Since the majority of recycling uses more resources than it saves.
I drive very little and when we do we group our locations all into one trip.
I compost material.
I am fine with flying, yet have a very big issue with how jets drive around on the run way wasting fuel. When they really should be towed around during taxi service.
I use no non natural fertilizers and no pesticides in my yard.

i have a pretty large compost pile in the back yard

I eat organic and vegan 80-90% of the time, I have a hippie ride (36 mpg highway, 30 in town), I have an organic garden in my backyard, I wipe my ass with earth friendly toilet paper, I use the recycle cans, etc...

You'd think I was a complete hippie until you met me.

My general goal is being a person that uses less and creates more.

It just seems sensible to me and a nice way to go to sleep at night.

I neve throw trash out the window

I try my very best to recycle, I advocate recycling to others. I do not compost as I live in a condo and we are not set up for that right now. I don't drive, however, I take cabs and other car services. I never litter and will call others out on it. I try not to use any products that are not bio-degradable...I do what I can, although I am sure there is plenty more that I could be doing.

I try but I'm not very good at it - I don't drive over here, so I suppose that is a big thing.

Recycle!
No to plastic bags! (as much as possible)
Plant more trees.
Conserve water and electricity.

**After Shock Media** · 10-30-2006, 11:24 AM

Those that recycle, what all do you recycle and is it because you have to or do you think it helps?

**sherie** · 10-30-2006, 11:24 AM

Oh yes, I conserve water and electricity as well. Thanks Angie

I don't eat meat and eat mostly organic food.
I don't have a car.
I only heat my appartment when it literally freezes.

I do fly fairly often, though, and don't recycle much (nearly impossible where I live).

**Irrum** · 10-30-2006, 11:56 AM

I eat only organic veggies, no meat.
I recycle
I conserve electricy and water
I dont buy an products that can damage the ozone layer.
I carpool.

Conserve energy, only buy vehicles with good gas mileage, donate to environmental organizations, recycle, veggies.

I have recycled (paper, plastic, metals) since I was a kid, so it's just habit now. I drive a pretty efficient car and save gas when I can. I turn lights off when I'm not using them. I don't litter. What else can I do?

Oh, I suck. I drive SUVs, don't recycle (used to, but now the closest recycling place is 4 towns away), I use throwaway batteries, and because I have a lot of odd shaped bulbs (the round ones, which I hate, and flood/track lights), I'm limited as to the number of florescent bulbs I can use.

I have at least 20 1/2 cans of paint in the house that I can't figure out a geologically conscience way to get rid of

I have two. Small.

True.
My dog eats everything, my rabbit eats wastes from vegetables, i have chimney to burn the paper.
And the Pilsener beer bottles will take the shop on the next street.
Everything else to the garbage.
