Do You Participate or Is A Member of Any Organization or Website That is Involved with Mother Nature? We all must do something, like tree planting, segregating our trash which is biodegradable or non-biodegradable, conserve water,refrain from wasting paper because we know that most papers come from trees, prevent illegal loggings, don't use plastic bags for groceries and many more.. On your end, what can you think of,to help save our home planet?

I'm not involved as a member of any organization, I'm a member of a natural parenting forum, and many/most of us are "earthy" and "crunchy"... but in my own family life we do the following: cloth diapers & feminine products, re-useable grocery bags, planting our own garden (& growing extra for those in need), this year we also participated in the milkweed planting project, to try to up the numbers of monarchs that are dwindling, let's see...I cook from scratch, so we have limited garbage to throw away, we don't use the over-processed foods so we avoid the chemical exposure in our foods by buying raw ingredients to make our food from scratch, we raise our own chickens for meat & eggs (when they begin laying later this summer, extras will also go for those in need), we plant sunflowers not only because we love them, but for food for the birds over the winter, we recycle and reuse everything we can, we buy second hand when we can, give our useable but un-needed (to us) items through freecycle, we homeschool so that we can teach our children the things we feel are important, limit driving trips/save gas, compost & feed the chickens all organic waste...there's probably more...its such a part of our lives now that its hard to think of everything.

I hardly use any electricity at all. I don't have cable or the internet at home. I spend all of my working time working on line from a local coffee house. My electricity bill is about $40 EVERY TWO MONTHS. I hardly use anything.

I do little things like recycling all the time. I also volunteer once a week to help rehabilitate wild marine mammals so that they can be released back into the wild. I think preserving our wildlife is very important, even before it gets close to extinction levels.

that's great too..At least when our kids grow up they will still see those mammals in real life and not through books only..thanks..

Yes, we all have to do whatever we can to save our planet. Recycling biodegradeable wastes is something I do most regularly, and this is something every household around the world needs to be doing too.

WE compost, reuse everything and anything we can think of another use for, pass on books, toys, and other reusables when they've become useless to us, and we just starte recycling. I'm also happy to sy that our energy bills have been decreasing about $10 each month for the past 4 months!!! Every little bit helps, no matter how miniscule your efforts feel.
