One thing to save the Earth

That is one of my peeves is lights that are on that are unnecessary. I am very frugal about my money and do have one of the lowest electric bills in my neighborhood but if no one is in the room... turn off the lights. The other thing I did was replace almost every light in my house with flourescent ones. That has made a huge difference.

I actually have two majors both of which I realize have only a minor impact on an individual basis. On any trip under ten kilometres I ride my bike rather than us my truck. Any trips longer than that I use public transport if at all possible. The second thing I have done is convert my lighting at home to compact florescent lights. This is not only good for the planet but it is also saving me money on my light bill. I do have a third project in the works but it is much more complicated and is proving difficult. I am trying to set up a Biodiesel production facility but I am finding it difficult, attracting the start-up capital I need.

I usually do only little small actions like not wasting water bearing in mind that some people on this same world is not being able to have water, finish my food bearing in mind that a lot of people are dying of hunger everyday and also turn off all unnecessary lights..;)

now most of way our earth getting down, many reasons like pollutions plays a vital role in that,, it shou;d stopped from now or else we have to face lot problems in that.. so kindly all people make a note of it to safe our earth..

I will make every people to something it's positive and have a positive thinking.. So that save the Earth.. IF every people can do something can make someone happy and all people in the world do same thing like the first people do.. so , the Earth will like the heaven where everywhere only have a smile and help each other..

hmmmmmmmmm i would love to do more than one thing but to make it short i would love to prevent de-forestation

to trow there own gargabe in the proper way...and in the right place.

Don't kill anyone! I mean, don't kill any animal, or any other sort of living thing, like trees, unless it is for your sustenance, like food and basic needs. Never go beyond what the Nature requires you to survive. Do not destroy anything for fun. Animals do not kill unless for food - even the predator animals. It is never done for fun or for revenge. So, let us learn from the Nature. Water conservation is also a lesson we need to learn from the nature. Don't overuse anything.

I decided a few days ago that I should really try to do something about the amount of energy we use. For a start, I'm horrendous at leaving lights, TV's, computers, and so on turned on when I leave them. I am going to start turning these things off, unplugging my laptop at night, and try to only have one thing running at once.

for me, its alabout conservong water. turn off water tight.. prevent leaks. and dont use water unecessarily.

I agree with you. To save the electricity is the one important thing, which we all can do to save the earth. We should alway try to save electricity, where ever we are either at office, or at home or some where else. Another thing we can do is to save water. Water is priceless. The more we save more the better. We should also protect our green gold.

I live in an apartment, so there isn't a great deal I can do. I've replaced regular bulbs with compact flurorescents in my lamps, and in the summer, I usually set the air conditioner for 79 or 80, and use fans to circulate the air.

We recycle everything, and we are talking about composting too. One of the first things I did to help make a difference was to stop running water while I brushed my teeth. We taught that to our daughter and she has remarked to me how odd it is when people she knows leave the water running while they brush their teeth.

My contribution is education (through my job and my master's thesis) and through recycling. I try to recycle and reuse everything. When I buy things, I try to buy the item with the least amount of extraenous packaging. Otherwise, I try to reuse the packaging. I even have been known to take things out of (not dig though, ew) the trash that are recycble.

Conserve water. I only use the water when I actually need it. I don't leave it on, it's rather pointless. I also recyle since I have the chance to do so. It only takes a few minutes to do, so I'm really not wasting any of my time. During the day, I don't turn the lights on, I only use certain lights when necessary and then I turn them right back off. No point in leaving them on. And, in a sense, I either walk everywhere I need to go, use public transportation, or in a sense, car pool with two others whenever I need to go somewhere.

i dont turn light on perios thats mine lol. i hardly ever have my light on in my room because i like the dark. as bright as it is in my display picture is as bright as it ever is in my room...unless my brother goes in there ...

I forgotten one important thing, eat less meat.

Buying things of good quality and keep them very long

I recycle as much as I can. Also, I started discussion about global warming etc. Great topic!

Hi coffechat, I feel by eradicating deforestation and planting more trees we could save mother earth. Even your suggestion is a very good one, people unmecessarly keep the lights turned on even when not in use,its bad. Hope if every one understands and contribute their part whatever little we can save her. Happy Mylotting!
