Think Green! Care About the Earth and Nature

Do you care about the earth and its resources? Man has, for so long, misused, abused and used up what is natural on the earth. Enter industry and toxins - now we're looking at the possibility of global warming. Water is at a premium in places. Trash is taking over more and more land, and junk is thrown out anywhere and everywhere - do you ever see a lot of junker cars sitting in people's backyards or even front yards?

How can we help? We can recycle, use energy efficient products (use less energy), waste less, and be aware. Below are options to help you figure out things to do and use. Come back often as we add to the tips. Think Green!

Things to Do to Save Energy and Conserve Resources - Think Green!

  • Turn your heater temperature down - don't heat your house as high as you'd like - wear more sweaters and warmer clothes in the house. Use a space heater if you spend most of your time in a certain room - don't heat the whole house.

    Holmes 1500W portable heater. 2 heat settings (1000W and 1500W). Cord wrap, pedestal base, and carry handle. Automatic safety shutoff.

  • Keep your air conditioner temperature higher - you don't need to over-cool your house. You can wear more shorts and no-sleeve tops and be more comfortable. Get a room air conditioner to cool down a particular room, not the whole house.

  • Get a swamp cooler instead of an air conditioner - use less energy.

  • Get a programmable set-back thermostat - it will regulate your home temperature for you, dropping and raising the temperature accordng to when you are in the house needing it - drop the temperature at night, raise it for 1-2 hours in morning while you get ready for work or school, drop it once you leave so no need to heat or cool while no one is home.

  • If people are at home all day, figure out the rooms they basically use - get space heaters or fans (ceiling fans are great for cooling) for those rooms and don't heat or cool the whole house when you only need a small space heated or cooled.

  • Caulk up and winter-proof your home before winter comes. Run an energy envelope to see where your house has leaks. Take a candle and, keeping the flame away from curtains and other hazards, slowly trace the path of your windows, doors, and other areas which may have air leaks. If the flame flickers and moves, there is air flow into or out of the house and that area needs to be weatherized with caulk or insulation or weather strips. Stop the leaks - your home heat will be lost to the outside, and your cool air will escape on the hot days.

  • Get double pane windows to keep more air insulation from the outside temperature coming into the house. Or get shutters that will close up to make an insulative air layer.

  • Use compact fluorescent light bulbs rather than incandescent - these save a lot in energy use and heat. Even if everyone replaced just one light bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb, it would make a HUGE difference!

  • Buy appliances that use less energy to run - cars, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, hot water heaters, computers,entertainment systems, etc.

    Go Green!

  • Buy environmentally-friendly products - ones that don't put out emissions or high heat or toxins into the air or trash or drains. Change your detergents, your cleansers, your personal care products, etc. to those which don't harm the environment.

    Neways products are environmentally friendly and also effective. You can find cleansers, car products, pet products, personal care products, laundry cleansers, and more here.

  • Use rechargeable batteries rather than throwing out used batteries. You should never put batteries in your regular trash - they should be disposed of safely and separately - call your trash company to see what they suggest.

  • Drive less - walk, ride bikes, ride the bus more.

  • Turn off lights when you leave the room - even if you intend to return in 10 minutes - it does save more energy to turn the lights off. (Watch that episode of Myth-Busters.) Turn off your computer monitor and TV when not watching it.

  • Find more ways to Conserve Water

  • Recycle and donate your used items and rejects. See what your garbage company will pick up and recycle (choose a trash removal company that does recycle - not all do). It may have requirements of the recycling numbers in the triangle. Mine takes aluminum and tin, cardboard (including cereal and macaroni mix boxes, etc.), phone books, newspapers and magazines, junk mail and catalogs, and plastics with certain recycling numbers.

  • Have live plants in your home and in your yard - let them help filter the air - taking in CO2 and letting oxygen out.

  • Help save the environment by protecting its resources.

  • Buy an energy efficient car - one with low gas mileage statistics. It helps to use less gas and not pollute with car emissions. Don't top off your gas tank.

  • Try to generate less trash - buy less packing, bring back grocery bags to re-use, and don't take a bag if you are only getting an item or two (use boxes at bulk stores - you cna recylcle cardboard). Eat more fresh items than processed foods in boxes and plasticware. On plasticware - recycle or try to wash and re-use another time or two.

    Relief for your back & neck when using a laptop, and eliminate the heat
    Laptops are ergonomically awful - the screen and keyboard aren't in the right places to keep yourself healthy - you have to lean over to work with it, and then there is the problem of heat - which can and does cause other health problems. One wonderful invention is the LapGenie - it is an adjustable desk to set your laptop into the best position it can be. It folds up for easy travel, and has many other uses. Check it out. It's made a huge difference to me and a lot of people. Highly recommended!
