Don't make garbage. Don't buy things you don't need. Don't buy a lot of packaging. Use reusable bags or carry things in your hands. your hands work too. Buy resale. Don't waste. Especially don't buy silly things that shouldn't even exist. There are so many things sold in the U.

Every couple of miles per gallon make a big difference. Consider that when choosing a car. And don't waste gas in whatever car you choose. Combine trips, don't idle, don't go through fast food drive thrus. Park and go inside. Turn the car off when using the ATM. Once the car is warm it takes less gas to turn it off and restart than it does to idle for longer than 10 seconds. Avoid traffic. Don't turn it on until you are ready to leave and turn it off immediately when you get where you are going. Keep the tires inflated.

I do everything I can. I buy as little packaging as possible and recycle or compost anything possible. I make very little trash. I shop resale and buy very few new things. And I buy very little processed, packaged foods. I use cloth napkins. I eat very little beef, which is one of the best things an individual can do for the environment. I eat sustainable fish. I buy from local farmers at our farmers market. I keep the themostat low in winter and high in summer and dress for the weather. It's amazing how few people dress for their climate, in Houston anyway. Turn off, unplug or switch off the powerstrip to things I'm not using. I started watching the kilowatts I use over a year ago and have drastically reduced my usage. Of course, I've used my CFL bulbs and ceiling fans for years, but just started turning fans off when I leave the room. I used to leave them on thinking they didn't use much energy anyway. I also turn off nightlights. They interfere with sleep anyway. I filter water and carry it with me in stainless steel bottles. I carry reusable shopping bags or just carry purchases in my hands. All though it's a bit of a struggle to get clerks to not give me a bag. I even reuse produce bags. I planted trees and grow some of my own food, although in my rented house with not much sunlight, I can only do so much. Someday, soon I hope, I want a environmentally friendly house and yard where I will landscape with edible plants. Oh, and I don't waste gas. I combine trips, plan routes, stay out of traffic, and don't start the car until I;m ready to pull out and turn it off immediately when I get where I'm going. I also try to park where I can pull out without a lot of maneuvering. Keep the tires inflated. And I drive a fuel efficient car, as I always have. Here's a tip for those renting an old home with inefficient windows. During cold snaps, you can stick bubble wrap to the glass for extra insulation. Just stick it on with a spray of water. You can easily remove it whenever you want.

In Honduras we are now living a terrible water shortage. By living this, I learned that using buckets or pans of water instead of using it directly from the tap, saves a lot of the vital liquid.

Reeutilización de descartables RECICLAR PAPEL EN CASA agua, malla dura, animo y papel descartado. 1. El primer paso es cortar el papel en trozos muy pequeños. Déjalos en remojo en el recipiente durante 1 ó 2 horas, hasta que el papel comience a tener consistencia de pasta. 2. Tritura la mezcla hasta conseguir una masa homogénea de textura suave y cremosa. Resulta conveniente hacerlo por tandas para desmenuzar los trozos bien. 3. Una vez tengamos la pulpa (la masa conseguida en el paso anterior) la vertemos de nuevo en el recipiente. Si está muy espesa, el resultado será parecido al cartón, por lo que puedes añadir agua dependiendo del efecto que busques. Introduce el bastidor en esta pasta consiguiendo que se deposite en la malla la cantidad suficiente para cubrir toda la superficie. El grosor de la capa determinará el del papel final. 4. Con la malla cubierta de la pasta de papel, sácala del barreño y deja que escurra el agua sobrante. Cuando comienza a secarse por la pérdida del líquido, vuélcalo con mucho cuidado sobre una tela de algodón. 5. Para terminar, el papel tiene que secarse completamente. Utiliza los libros para hacer presión y conseguir así que la superficie sea más lisa. Para acelerar el proceso de secado, que suele durar 12 horas, tiende el paño con el papel dentro (cuando ya esté algo seco para evitar que pierda la forma) 6. Una vez que esté seco y prestando mucha atención, separamos el papel y el trapo para que las partes que puedan estar pegadas no se rompan. Ayúdate de una espátula si es necesario.

Hello, I really think that I have to help since I feel that it is something that we have to work a lot right now, you know, I was thinking that maybe doing some kind of campaign like going to schools and do something like a contest with the students participating that they bring paper to recycle and the the winning group takes a price, but the thing is that the price has to be REALLY good so the people get interested in it. My teachers made it once and all of us were looking for paper to recycle and the campaign was really good, besides we help a bit at least

Con pequeños actos como: No usar vasos descartables (por ejemplo, en el trabajo al pedir un café se puede usar una taza normal), Cambiar las lámparas comunes por las de bajo consumo, Secar la ropa al sol, Usar servilletas de tela, Aprovechar el papel al escribir, imprimir ambos lados de cada hoja, reciclar o comprar papel reciclado, Reciclar los periódicos, Rellenar las botellas de agua, Cuidar espacios públicos (No tiras la basura en tu casa, porque si lo haces en estas áreas??), Hacerle mantenimiento al auto, Usar pilas y baterías recargables, Pagar las cuentas online, etc. Son aspectos muy sencillos pero pueden hacer la diferencia. Dicen que El hombre no solo es hombre por ser hombre sino por sus obras y acciones, demostrémoslo.

Ademas, le sugiero siempre a las personas encargadas de realizar las transacciones, que le pregunten a sus clientes antes de imprimir las copias, tal vez otras personas decidan no hacer uso de esas copias y asi podemos ahorrar papel.

Pero otro problema es el del agua potable. Mi país es rico en eso y en vez de concientizarnos más de que es un recurso limitado, desperdiciamos agua potable por todos lados. No necesitamos agua potable para tirar la cadena, para lavar la ropa o los platos. Creo que hay que concienciar a las personas con movimientos que impacten más.

Basta con colocar una sitio para botar (caja de cartón), exclusivamente, papel, evitando que éste entre en contacto con aceites, grasas u otras sustancias que impiden que pueda ser reciclado....Muchas veces gastamos y mal gastamos papel imprimiendo por una sola cara, usemos las 2 y estaremos reduciendo la mitad del papel, además utilizar y reutilizar el papel, para evitar botarlo cuando aún nos puede servir..!!

Keep your gas tank at least half full because full efficency (miles per galon) is better this way. The cost of this is not greater than the infestment of filling it once, and then filling it with the same regularity you usually do.

En mi casa reciclamos todos los materiales de papel, aluminio, latón, vidiro y plástico. Antes utilizábamos bolsas de plástico para trasladar los materiales a los centros de acopio, pero ahora llevamos canastos que usamos una y otra vez., y para ir a hacer las compras en el supermercado utilizamos bolsas de tela. Entramos en un programa de ahorro de energía que se lleva a cabo en mi pais en el que se utilizan los aparatos que mas consumen electricidad en las horas que no son pico. Así lavamos ,cocinamos, planchamos, etc antes de las 10:00 am o después de las 2:00 pm e igual por la tarde. Otra cosa que estamos realizando es solicitar todos los recibos de servicios via Internet, para así no gastar papel en impresión de los mismos. Utilizamos el agua que corre hasta lograr la temperatura deseada para el baño para regar las plantas. Ojalá cada vez seamos mas los que estemos concientes de cuidar nuestro planeta!

It's easy to contribute if you're informed. To know about the problems and think about them is the first step to make a difference. CHANGE STARTS IN YOUR MIND.

En mi casa separamos la basura y ponemos una cubeta de agua para utilizar el agua fría de la regadera que se desperdicia mientras esperamos que se caliente. También tratamos de no usar el coche si no es necesario, caminar unos veinte minutos para ir a comprar leche no es sólo bueno para el ambiente, sino también para la salud. También hay que evitar usar muchas botellas y bolsas de plástico, reutilizarlas unas dos o tres veces antes de tirarlas no hace daño.

It is so important to begin doing the small things... even if one starts by baby steps. We have to brake the cycle of what we are used to do, specially here in Latinamerican countries where still doing the right thing is hardly ever recognize or support by the government and even coworkers and friends. Just shutting lights we do not used, connecting appliances only at the moment we need them and cutting back the amount of things we believe need to be printed and using less plastic bags to take groceries home could be a good start in making a difference. It is hard nowadays to do so because we are used to having great things without effort but in order to keep having those things we need to do them in a sustainable way.

Hi! there is so much that can be done and little actions can contribute so much. For example in my office we try not to use the printer so much and saving paper. I maybe is TMI but I pee in the shower so I don't have to flush down the toilet. I have a cloth bag so I won't use the plastic ones. Those are my little contributions I hope everyone do just one little thing and we will helping a great deal.

Tratemos de caminar más, y utilizar menos los autos. Evitemos quemar basura, o los campos previo a la siembra, eso daña mucho nuestro ambiente.

La energia es algo de suma importancia que no hemos puesto la suficiente atención. Podemos desconectar los aparatos que no estemos utilizando por tiempos prolongados. Recordemos que otra forma de evitar que los bosques desaparezcan y que miles de animales mueran por el calentamiento global, es a través de reducir el uso de energia electrica en forma excesiva. Nuestro planeta nos lo agradecerá! =) De nada sirve plntearnos metas y logros en nuestra vida, si no tendremos un planeta en donde podamos llevarlas a cabo.

Al intentar cambiar nuestro estilo de vida a uno mas "verde" podemos comenzar por peqeños pasos comenzar a separar los deshechos organicos de nuestra cocina en un espacio en el jardin para comenzar a hacer composta. En mi casa colocamos una botella de plastico de 1 litro llena de agua en los depositos del escusado y de esta manera ahorramos 1 litro de agua por cada descarga. Las escuelas podrian lograr un gran cambio pidiendo a todos los estudiantes que entreguen todos sus trabajos via electronica o en caso de ser necesario en papel reciclado.

Whenever you buy something pls do not ask for or accept plastic bags. We can hold small things on our hands or puting them inside our personal purse. If you need to buy several things pls be so kind to take you reusable bag with you. This will avoid plastic usage for sure.

hola, me han interesado muchos sus comentarios, saludos, mi pasion por ayudar en el presente problema siempre ha sido a cerca de las sonas rurales, veremos que cada dia faltan mas arboles y las zonas estan quedando totalmente descuidada, disminuye los caudales, en mi opinion debemos formar equipos con las personas que habitan estas zonas rurales y comunicarles a cerca de este "TeamEarth" y concientizarles... necesitamos mas arboles para permitir la procreacion de animales! gracias!

Comparto la preocupacion que comentan respecto a Mexico donde tenemos poco respeto por la naturaleza, particularmente por la falta de educacion que hay en nuestras familias y nuestras escuelas, yo en lo particular inculco a mi hijo que tiene que cuidar el planeta ahorrando agua y cuidando a los animales y los arbolitos que plantamos en nuestro jardin, yo creo que cada espacio libre debemos poner un arbol para aportar o regresar a la naturaleza parte de lo que nos ha dado. Generemos conciencia de la conexion que tenemos con la madre naturaleza!!!!

Eu desligo o chuveiro, as torneiras, quando não estão em uso. Carrego uma sacola plástica na bolsa, para não jogar lixo no chão. Tento conscientizar o máximo de pessoas possíveis para contribuirem com o meio ambiente. Planto uma árvore por dia todos os dias pelo www.clickarvore.com.br Participo de causas, para tentar ajudar. Faço o que posso, tento fazer a minha parte, esperando que o próximo pense da mesma maneira.

Re-use the water you use on laundry to wash your car or sidewalk. When it's summer, or better, when it's not too cold, you can turn your shower off when you're sopaing yourself, and turn it on again just to wash the soap off. ;)

Usemos las fundas del mercado para la basura y no compremos nuevas. Cerremos la llave de agua mientras nos enjabonamos. Desenchufemos los artefactos que no estamos usando pues aún apagados consumen energía. El agua de la cocina puede reutilizarse en las plantas. Secar la ropa en el aire para no usar la secadora. Servir en el plato solo lo que vamos a comer pera no tirar lo que sobra.
