They have a lot of fantastic material on there about equipment you can change to be greener!
You can initiation with simple equipment, unplug anything you’re not using, especially if you won’t be using it for quite some time- TVs, video game systems, electric toothbrushes, hair dryers, toasters, coffee makers, phone chargers–they all use a LOT of energy even when they’re not on! So unplug what you can and that’ll be a fantastic initiation…AND it’ll save you money!
Use 13 watt lightbulbs, the swirly shaped ones. They give as much light as a 60 watt bulb but use so much less energy! And they last for so much longer too!
There are a lot of cleaning products that are considered green too. A lot of people are worried that if they’re untreated, they won’t clean as well but Clorox has a new line called Greenworks that have passed EPA standards but are supposed to clean just as well as their normal products, bathroom cleaners, window cleaner equal to Windex, equipment like that. You can check out a page for info that’s not an actual Greenworks page so you know it’s biased- http://www.sierraclub.org/greenworks/
The same way you initiation a long journey with one step. First and simplest start replacing incandesent bulbs with compact flouresent ones. Start to walk for more errands. Turn your thermostat up or down 1 degree.
One other thing Mr Romania is right don’t be an ass about it allow people to make up there own minds about the issue. But answer freely when someone questions. Excellent luck.
I have a HUUUUGE list for free available at www agua-luna com it’s like 33 pages long & would just spam this whole answer. But here’s a few cut from the list below. If you’d like the entire list feel free to visit www agua-luna com or send by e-mail me owing to the site directly & I’ll send you a free copy. The name of the list is “go green” on the left side of the page
Here are some of the examples are listed there
Recycle paper, cardboard, newsprint & magazines.
Recycle aluminum cans.
Recycle all batteries.
Recycle & reuse. Roughly 50% of the average self’s trash can be recycled. Don’t forget that hazardous waste like batteries, your printer’s ink cartridges, & cell phones can be recycled too! Find out how & where to recycle in your area. Always buy recycled paper. Just 1 ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees.
Just because your community doesn’t pick up all recyclables on the curb, it doesn’t mean there are not viable alternatives nearby. Check with dry cleaners, supermarkets, manufacturers, your local broadcast facility department & town organizations to find out where recycled goods can be dropped off, at a location near you.
Did you know that just in 1995 alone, recycled toner cartridges kept over 21,000 tons of trash out of landfills? Believe it or not, now you can recycle your printer’s toner cartridges! Every year, Americans throw out enough printer cartridges to stretch from Los Angeles to New York City & back again. Toner cartridges can be recycled, having just as excellent a performance as an unrecycled cartridge. To recycle your toner cartridges, find a local business that does printer cartridge recycling, or contact the manufacturer of your current toner cartridge & question about a cartridge recycling program.
Not only must you recycle, but buy products that are recycled. By purchasing these products, you are helping to conserve untreated resources, & to protect the environment.
Wash clothes in cold fill up.
Hot fill up is unnecessary for most clothes. When needed, use warm fill up.
Fill your toilet tank.
Place a plastic bottle or two, filled with fill up & rocks, in your tank to reduce the amount of fill up used in each flush.
Clean your filters.
Clean the filters of your air-conditioners once a month to improve energy efficiency. While you’re at it, change your car’s filters as recommended in your blue-collar.
Get a low-flow shower head.
Stop at the hardware store on your way home, & get a low-flow shower head. Takes a few minutes to install, & it’ll save gallons of fill up a day.
Lower your thermostats.
If you use heating, get by with less heat & wear radiator clothes. If you use air-conditioning, get by with less cooling & wear cooler clothes.
If it’s a nice sunny day, hanging clothes only takes a few minutes, & you’re using solar power instead of electricity to do the job. It also makes your clothes last longer.
Turn down your fill up heater.
Most people have their fill up heater’s thermostat turned up too high, wasting energy. Turn it down to 130 degrees, reduction energy but subdue hot enough to kill bacteria.
Use CFC light bulbs.
Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like help in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online & on-site workshops, seminars & internships to help others help the environment.
There are a lot of fantastic ways. I write about a few on this blog.http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/186383/floridanative.html There is an article on how to be more eco friendly, and a company that helps save the environment by taking care of your junk mail!
