environment and its pollution is a hot topic of discussion today. unfortunately for many it seems to be just that. talking about environment has become fashionable and when it comes to action people back off. as for me i have changed all filament bulbs with compact florescent lamps (CFL), replaced my CRT monitor with LCD and my next PC upgrade will be MoDT (which consumes less power). i also make sure to carry my shopping bag to avoid polythene bags. How Green are You?

you are absolutely right. i myself did not go green on day one. but i planned it over a period of time. once the purpose is clear, it is easy to move towards your goals. keep up the good work and good luck.

Being green for saving environment doesn't mean we must spend much money. I think we can starting it from simple things. The most important is controlling our electricity usage. Don't wasting the electricity energy for somethig useless. I think this way is more efficient since most all around the world have energy crisis now. Energy is a vital point to save this world. By saving our energy usage, i think we can reduce the CO2 emissions in this world. Happy mylotting.

good point. the purpose should be achieved. and it is not only electricity but also water and air. and in many cases land also. we can all start by reducing wastage.

I would consider myself a beginner at being green. My husband and I now use the reusable shopping bags, energy efficient light bulbs, and we've started recycling. So I think we're off to a good start! Especially since we've just started all of this within the last few months.

there are lots of ways on how we could be green, one of which is saving our resources like water, paper, fuel and the like. if we all practice recycling or reusing things can greatly reduce our consumption of our natural resources.


myLot reputation of 88/100. sunny68 (734)   ranked 1,804 out of 35,448 in people  4 months ago
