What do you do EVERY day to take care of the earth's environment? What could you do more of?
1.I keep my freezer and fridge pretty full. Refrigerators and freezers work much more efficiently when there's more stuff in it.
2. I drive a hybrid car.
3. I go grocery shopping with reusable cotton bags when I can.
4. I try to recycle; there's no recycling where I live, so I have to take my recyclables to a recycling center. Do you have any idea how hard it is to recycle in San Diego when you live in an apartment complex that doesn't support recycling? The parks dept says that there are blue recycling dumpsters everywhere, I drove to 4 different locations and there were none. Another reason why San Diego sucks.
5. I carry water in a Nalgene type bottle. No more bottled water for me if I can help it.
6. All but one of my lightbulbs is a CFL. The one with the dimmer is a conventional bulb. CFL bulbs do this awful flickering thing when combined with a dimmer.
7. I reuse as much as I can, including ziplock bags, plastic take out containers, and utensils.
