Thread: Happy Earth Day. What do you do to reduce consumption and waste?

I sleep in the direction of the plant in my bedroom

I yet again find myself in Gary's corner... whatever little human's do to the environment it is nothing compared to what natural forces do.

so for earth day my neighbors and i set a large fire... our goal 7 square miles or so (4480acres) including the hedgerows... the fields just needed to be cleaned out and it was the first day the week long burn ban was lifted but only about 4000 acres burned the rest was too green


fire pretty...

I tilled up my garden and prepped it for planting. I grow a large vegetable garden every year and it produces enough veggies for my parents, my girlfriend’s parents, and a few neighbors all year long. I reuse my canning jars every year and I believe it to be more economically and environmentally friendlier than buying canned goods at the market.

Alum as in Aluminum oxide? as in 'contains a lot of aluminum'?

Any of various double sulfates of a trivalent metal such as aluminum, chromium, or iron and a univalent metal such as potassium or sodium, especially aluminum potassium sulfate, AlK(SO4)2·12H2O, widely used in industry as clarifiers, hardeners, and purifiers and medicinally as topical astringents and styptics.

i guess im horrible...

drive 147 miles a day.. eat out all the time... and love bottled water...

i figure as a consumer im paying the price for my waste.

I have replaced all my incandescent light bulbs with the fluorescent ones in my house. I plant my own tomato and green pepper plants. It's that time of the year to go get them. I will use $10 in gas to go get them.

I held my breath...Didn't want to let any of that nasty CO2 to escape!

Factoid: When a human that is 3 miles away from the Grayling River (North Michigan) takes a leak in the woods, its urine flows all the way back and pollutes the river. Fox, bear and deer don't pollute (theirs go uphill I guess).

If I'm a passenger in a car eating an apple and am travelling 75 mph on I-75 and throw the core out the window and it lands in the weeds, am I composting?
