Living Green

We have reached an era where we need to be far more aware and assertive of green living 

and if we want any chance of helping our planet, reducing our carbon footprint, 

cutting consumer costs and living a richer healthier life.

There are many simple tips and ideas that are more than affordable 

offering the average person/family   

and the not so average thousands of dollars in savings and a cleaner greener lifestyle.

We seem to have adopted a "lazy attitude" towards most things in general.  

Expecting everything to work via a remote, the clap of a hand or push of a button, even our food is ready in '5, served with a smile and "would you like anything else with that order".

With unnecessary spending, pollution and mammoth waste if we don't choose to do something about it then NOBODY WILL, end of.

There are some fantastic and helpful solutions available to us on 

solar/home made energy, recycling organic waste, growing and eating food,  natural skin care and more.  You'll find some cool ideas on the tabs up the top. All of which can only contribute to improving our world.

I hope you find this information useful 

and implement some or many green ideas in your life 

and feel good for doing your part for the planet.

About GREEN technology

   Green Technology in the Community, Individuals, businesses, and the government each have ways they are able to “Go Green”. Each effort does help and is certainly better than no effort at all.  Individuals can do what they can to reduce the following:

 • Gas emissions

 • Oil dependency

 • Electrical use

 • Cleaning with harmful chemicals                                                                                                

Household shopping

Beauty products

Waste

 The more people that adopt environmentally friendly lifestyles, the more impact it will have on the environment. Lack of large scale resources to make the most of their efforts limit individuals.

 Businesses can adopt environmentally friendly practices and have a larger impact on the environment in a community. 

Government agencies do their part to support, to create, and enforce environmentally friendly practices. Though there are many helpful and useful programs that are government supported, government agencies are often bogged down with the politics of the times.

 If each community united, organized, and cooperated to adopt environmentally friendly practices, the impact would be greater than the separated and unconnected efforts of individuals, businesses, and government agencies.

 Community needs are best known by the people who live and work in it. When the residents and businesses get involved, change and improvement can take place rapidly in a community. Outside influence and/or support may still be needed to recognize needs as well as to push necessary change forward. This is where the government agencies can help and private agencies may assist.

 Change begins with understanding through

Study

 • Newsletters

 • Personal contact

 • Community meetings

THE MEDIA

 • Education about energy savings, renewable energy, ways to change consumption, etc.

 From there, it can move on to a larger scale where community-wide changes can be adopted. Like

 • Building codes that meet stronger energy efficiency standards

 • New community buildings (examples: schools, office buildings, fire stations, police departments) can be built to meet the new energy realities

 • Communities can even consider developing their own renewable facilities that can save the communities money or become a source of revenue instead of taxes.

 To determine what’s best for communities as a whole, an outside influence may be needed to determine what’s possible and to help with funding and organization. Careful analysis of buildings to be able to implement the use of smaller equipment to heat and cool buildings will reduce initial cost and waste in daily operation.  . It can, in the end, make real energy changes.

 Coming together as a community with some outside help will create a larger positive impact on the environment as a whole than what individuals, business, and government can do on their own.

But as always it is best to begin at home.  Make some changes today and go green.
