I’ve already developed a lifestyle of reducing consumption as much as is practical – got rid of 1 car – walk more – live in a neighborhood that has what we need in walking distance and growing microgreens which is tabletop gardening.

Chevrolet Volt is a great electric car with LED tail lights and headlight.

Obviously, how far you routinely drive will play a key role in how thrifty the Volt will be. We think most potential owners will be able to take advantage of its electric range. And electricity costs for recharging are but a fraction for the equivalent amount of gasoline. What’s not clear is whether those savings are worth what you’ll have to pay at the dealership. Even with a $7,500 federal tax credit, a base Volt will still cost $33,500 — and that’s without the home charging station that’s essentially mandatory for a plug-in hybrid like the Volt. There’s also a strong likelihood that dealers will try to gouge early customers with sky-high markups.

Still, there is no denying the Volt’s technological promise. Most importantly, it has the ability to keep on going when its battery runs down (say, on a road trip), whereas an all-electric vehicle like Nissan’s Leaf does not. If you want an intriguing yet practical taste of a greener automotive future, the 2011 Chevy Volt might be just what the General ordered.

As a bee removal company in Dallas, I have found being a beekeeper so rewarding! Being able to help clients and also be sustainable is an important part of my business.

I hang laundry outside, and it smells great. I think it’s very bad that some housing areas do not allow this. I almost never use my clothes dryer. But being a beekeeper, I try to involve mother nature as a form of human activities. Sun for heat, and beekeeping for honey! I’m a beekeeping expert and would ensure that beekeeping be spread around the world. Bees are becoming more and more endangered due to global warming as well.

Buying foods from the supper market, such as meat, produce and other items cause a lot of pollution, and here’s why. Think about what it takes to ship produce from the farms and other countries. In most cases they ship by plane and by truck all which cause pollution to the environment. My goal which is already happening is to self sustain and to eat mostly RAW Organic foods that come from my garden. I realize that here in Canada it’s virtually impossible to grow all year round and that is why i got into sprouting in the winter months. To tell you the truth I wasn’t aware that sprouting was even a way of eating until I came across sprouting sprouts.com which taught me everything I needed to do from seed to sprout. This was a big change for me and I felt very empowered knowing I was supplying myself with food without contributing to the creation of more toxic pollution.

Recap: The one thing that I have done to reduce additional pollution is to cultivate my own food from home, which reduces consumer demand for super market foods, and save me the trip (which in turn) reduces the gas emissions from me driving there.

I am new to this, but have been mulling this for a while and the earthquake in Haiti recently motivated me to act now rather than later. So I am growing my own microgreens to eat, (learning to compost is next), checking into solar energy for home use to get off the grid (www.how2buildsolar.com), eventually, I will need to investigate water and food storage for emergencies. we’ve already reduced our carbon footprint by eliminating 1 car already since we moved into a great neighborhood within walking distance to a natural food store, restaurants, shops etc. and we use public transportation for work commutes.
