What are you willing to do to reduce pollution and the consumption of gasoline? |
Easiest to hardest. 1. Don't idol needlessly: In a drive-through; waiting to pick up someone; leaving the kids in a running car to watch a DVD. If it's more than 30 seconds, turn it off. 2. Don't drive aggressively. Coast up to red lights, no need to have one peddle on the floor at all times. You don't have to be right on someone rear; it wastes gas and causes the domino effect of stop & go traffic. Accelerate slowly, you don't save much time. Leave two minutes early, increase your millage up to 30%. 3. Open the windows, turn off the air, especially don't wait for someone while idling with the air on. Roll down the windows, you'll live. 4. Walk, bike, bus, train whenever you can. 5. Don't buy SUV's or other gas guzzlers. How often do you pack it to capacity and use all that space. Save on payments, gas, insurance, etc. Buy a hybrid or a smaller car and rent a van or truck when needed. 6. Live near your work. Work near your home. #2 and #5, I would work near my home if there were any good jobs. That would be ideal. A word about hybrid cars. If you want to rent one from a rental car place, it costs you more. So in other words, it will costs us more money to be green. They figure it costs less to fill up the gas so we will charge more for it. That is not good incentive for the general public to go green, is to charge them more for it. I dont have driver license. I dont dump oil, i keep. Organic garbage separate of non-organic. I dont make noise or sound pollution, no louder music, fires or explosion. I dont burn anything An excellent group of ideas. But note that everyone doesn't have to do all of them. Do the ones that work for you. There are plenty of ways to help the environment. If you need to use the AC, use it. If you need the carrying capacity of a truck often, buy a truck. Just be sensible. If everyone was, we'd be a lot better off. how about not using computers and not going online Make each journey count - do the shopping on the way home from work. If you can walk it, don't just talk it! Share journey when ever possible. |
