Conserving The Environment

Howard Said:

what are the various slogans related to environment protection?

We Answered:

Go Green

Roberta Said:

how are you going to participate in the effort of conserving the environment?

We Answered:

My greatest contribution to the environment is that I do not have, and will not have, any children. No matter how much we reduce our resource consumption as individuals, if there are enough people, we still use too much as a collective. Human overpopulation makes any conservation efforts futile.

Alicia Said:

I want to find a summer job in the Philadelphia suburbs conserving the environment. Where can I work?

We Answered:

Try Parks and Recreation..... the next best thing for the environment is to clean it up.

Anita Said:

what do you do to conserve environment and to conserev energy?

We Answered:

Here is something, though there is always room to improve:

- I recycle everything my city gives an opportunity to.

- I use everything (clothes, electronics, tools, furniture...) until they are completely broken and beyond repair.

- I do not buy things that I don't need - I don't go shopping for fun, I buy only when I really need something.

- I buy used clothes and dishes from flea markets or ask relatives and friends to give old ones to me.

- I DON'T OWN OR USE A CAR/TAXI - only my trusty feet, bicycle and bus.

- I AM VEGAN and maintain healthy weight - recent studies show that it's more environmentally important thing to think what you eat compared to even transportation. Raising cattle is very wasteful and produces enormous amount of greenhouse gases (methane, carbon dioxide etc..) and it is even not essential to lead healthy life with delicious food. Also not controlling your eating to the point that you are almost obese is such a waste. Eating 3 times more than you need to is not doing good for anyone.

- I try to buy products that are packaged as little as possible.

- I do not use commercial chemicals on myself or at home, only baking soda, vinegar and lemon. Check out some baking soda and vinegar cleaning tips. You can even wash laundry and yourself with them! :)

- I don't use any kind of drugs (including tobacco and alcohol) because, once again, that land could be used to farm food. Instead it's turned into something that harms our health and security.

- I donate money to environmental and socially constructive organizations.

Things to improve:
- I should use less water, sometimes I linger in shower much longer than is needed
- Sometimes I tend to buy more food than I need and it spoils before I manage to eat it all.
There must be much more but my fingers are all cramping already :D

Don Said:

Do you think there needs to be a compromise between money making and conserving the environment?

We Answered:

There already is. Our water and air are much cleaner than 40 years ago. It is because compromises were made. Industry is doing a much better job now.

The primary cause of pollution is the increase in population and the products and services they demand. I feel we need to focus on conservation at the demand end. We need smaller cars, More public transportation, smaller more efficient housing, etc,

Stacy Said:

What do you think about buying a cave for conserving the environment or even for a home?

We Answered:

My grandfathers house is made with concrete and has 6 feet of dirt over the top except one side faceing south. He's lived in there when temps are below 0 or above 100 outside with no problems.
