Let me start first. Basically I am not too 環保 ...
I bring my own bag to go shopping 50% of the time, and 80% of light bulb in my house are changed to energy saving ones. And recycle all paper (make sure they are in the blue box) and bottle goes to bottle depot.
Computer, I power off after use.
1. donate my clothes
2. turn off computer if it's not downloading or in use
3. use e-billing, cut down paper invoice
4. recycle bottles, papers, old computer parts, broken dvd players
5. bike to work
6. unplug any electronics that are not in use
7. buy recycled paper products
I tried biking to work for a few days 2 summers ago... just too dangerous.
I do:
1. donate my clothes and household items still in good shape
2. buy green products if available (e.g. house hold cleaning items)
3. buy local organic vegetable and meat if possible
4. pick locally made products over some that's shipped from far away (e.g. local craft works as gifts)
5. buy organic fair trade items (coffee, fair trade cotton t)
6. Educate myself and others (read books, online info..etc)
There is one time I bought an expensive dish washing detergent...but that one has no "bubble"....always have the feeling that it can't clean the greese...and my hubby tend to use more ... so at the end after using up that bottle I stop buying ...
which "green" cleaning item you recommend?
(just added 2 more options in the voting catagory)
Raise some roosters instead of alarm clock,
work-out at home instead of going to gym,
turn down the heat at night
Go to bed earlier
Give up Plasma TV and fancy audio/video system, Home Theatre
One thing that works really well on a several different fronts is to simply turn down your thermostat at home. Wear some socks, put on an extra sweater or something, and set your thermostat to 17C or 18C. Not only will you be saving energy, you'll also save on your gas/electric bill. Plus the lower temperature means the indoor air wouldn't be as dry, and that'll probably be a major bonus esp for the ladies.
