標題: What are your contributions to enviromentalism? [打印本頁]

作者: Ovaltine 時間: 2010-4-6 17:01 標題: What are your contributions to enviromentalism?

I recently read a thread on Wikileak, certain poster have said the only way to save the world is to kill off some people. I believe generating a war is one of the best ways to do it. But there are so much environmental issues in the meda right now, what have you done to change it? Doesn't have to be big, little things too. I want our green lifestyle to be contagious, we can change our lifestyle for the better or face the wrath of a unsustainable future.

For me,

We have a recycle box for paper at home, all the stuff get put in the blue box after we recycle.

I donate 10dollar every month to TD green foundation.

I don't plan on having kids, may adopt.

節約用紙/水/電/等等，用環保袋，買有機食物。。

just trying my best to
- turn off lights and heaters in the house.
- buy just the amount of food we need.
- buy fewer items than I really need.
- fix instead of replace.
- sell unwanted stuff in craiglist or ebay
- reduce storage (!), there are so much hidden stuff in the house not used due to our poor memory
- educate my children that wasting things is shameful.

I agree with Daimo's list.
I also try to buy local and organic if that's possible. And if not, I pick local over imported produce.
I am still working on buying just the right amount of food. I tend to over purchase and it's bad.
join CSA program to support local farming for the 4th year.
thinking of joining that for local wild salmon as well but I don't eat enough fish for a single share. I will look into it and find ppl to be able to share and join next year.
separate and recycle all possible garbage at home
looking into getting under the sink decomposer or bringing them to my parents' garden decomposer this summer when I cook a lot more veggies.
try to bus/carpool to work whenever possible. walk home if weather permitted.

Local and organic doesn't necessary mean fewer carbon footprints. Some local farms consume way more energy than trucking grocery from California.

well then call me selfish. Cos they DO taste better when they come freshly from the farm.
I think the best case is to have a small vegetable garden and grow my own. But I can't afford a house with garden now.

作者: daimo 時間: 2010-4-7 10:31

for me organic food is for the taste (health? debatable) but not for the environment.

作者: 布小熊 時間: 2010-4-7 12:06

回復 7# daimo
some of them are. some aren't. It depends on how the farm is run.

Are you going to raise chickens in your garden if possible? It may be allowed soon.

I don't have a garden but if I do, I may consider it. I used to have 2 pet chicks in HK when I was little.

作者: Ovaltine 時間: 2010-4-7 13:11

I think my carbon footprint goes lower if I lived in HK. I ride the MTR and eat alot less meat. Here I drive around whenever I can, a wasteful habit.

but in hongkong, a lot of people I know will get a new cell phone every a couple of months, get the latest clothing etc ... it all adds up.

Dude, No electronics are good for the environment, when they say they are a green company, its merely propaganda for their company's image. All apple products are made in China by Foxxcon. How green would you think that would be?

How green? Apple is very green, so they require foxconn to utilize their environmentally friendly design. Apple's packaging design, and the materials used in their products contain way less hazardous substances than other brand names.

要考過”父母資格試“，高分合格先可以有資格生仔。好多人根本唔識做人父母，無計劃過就生。”父母資格試“的制度，可以讓地球人口二十年後減半。
