Here are some things that you can start doing Now
(enviro
Now) to make a difference. 1. Turn off
unused lights and appliances. You'll save money but more
importantly you'll reduce emissions.
2. Cut your grass using a push
Reel mower.
This will reduce emissions from your lawnmower's engine. Notice
how cars are becoming lower emission vehicles...do you think your
lawnmower is designed with these low standards for NOx for example?
This not only saves the environment but you won't be breathing in those
fumes either.
3. How often do we make things physically
easier at home, and then turn around and "work out". Cut your
grass using a
REEL mower. No this is not a repeat. Use this
as your workout instead of "driving" to the gym and all that comes with
working out at the gym.
4. Recycle. More things are recyclable
than you think. Visit
Recycle, Reuse and Reduce on this site.
Don't throw
batteries and computer parts in the regular trash.
5. Don't litter. Why is this so
difficult?
6. Grow your own vegetables. This is
great exercise, good for your health. teaches you and your kids about
nature. Try it.
7. Stop blaming the oil companies for
everything. Take 100% responsibility.
8. Talk about it. Be part of the early
majority and pioneers. Word of mouth is the best marketing.
Wear one of our T-shirts or put a sticker on your car. Just like
any great movement, it takes leadership from within. Be 100%
responsible.
9.
THINK about where else are we emitting to
the environment. Our cars, electricity usage....now think about
other things we take for granted. Do you use weed killer on your
lawn? Do you pour chemicals down your sink?
10. Look at the earth you are walking on,
driving on, living on. Is this how you would treat your
house or even your car? In fact, you often leave your house and
can even move to a new house if you want. But guess what...you're
on this home called earth 24/7 365 days a year. Think about it.
If this home has a roof leak, or has engine problems, who are you going
to call. Be 100% responsible. |
